Social Tremors

Cannibal crawl
on the 
crumbling boulevard

Legions
of street creatures
suckling
like neon parasites
on a binge 

Shadowy residents
of soul less asphalt canyons

Never exposed
to sunlight these vampires
of city nights
viciously prey
on each other

Suburban squires
spectate the feeding frenzy
on their 60 inch flat screens

as they reinforce
their security moats
and pray the underworld
stays beneath their feet

Someday
those with nothing
but shared desperation

may organize
and channel
their frustrations
into a break out force

To forever slash
the economic divide
and forever shred
our social control net
