Badge - a Poem

A night like any other night

A day like any other day

Trudge along the spiteful blight

Dimming the golden ray

Of hopes and dreams

Simmer under the scorching sun

While the sliced moon beams

Over the trembling swan

As the birds and the bees

Fly away from the raging fire

Engulfing flowers and trees

In desiccated dire

Premonitions of a day

When badge wearing humans

Dissipated into bashing gray

Ash, everlasting doldrums!

All the anger and hatred
Thrown at the dehumanized souls
Becalmed at last in kindred
Spirits of acquiesced ghouls
