Power Politics

written by: Jose A. Tovar

Unsatisfying political greed,
hunger that grows
like a spreading fungus

in the fabric
of our mechanical routine.
The gears of power
keep on turning,
turning to plunder us
into submission.

Whether it is the fear psychosis, the measures taken to prevent the spread of the epidemic, the dedicated and tireless work of groups of individuals in taking care of the afflicted, the resistance to the imposition of stringent regulations by the authorities and lastly the realization that we have to move on but with a changed perspective and living a new life.
