his left wing was tied down
like he does not have one
right wing bird tries to fly
crashes and bumps into things
knocks them over
and over again
falls down and hurts himself
stumbles like a drunken chicken
caught in a pigeon drop
right winged bird said
he does not need left wing
it is only in the way
yet when he crashes and burns
everything in his wake,
he destroys social programs
minds, bodies and souls
his deed most foul:
due to his language barrier
he destroyed the noun:
Persons, places and things…
like greed, hatred and war
right winged bird is
redundant
again

Thanks so much for posting my poem
