Love, It Begs MAG

avarice, of Dante’s most persecuted,

hastily consuming entirety; only needing

the slightest quench of carelessness, weakness,  lethargy. 


power, subject to invisibility,

slyly slipping past society without detection

until abusing, killing, maiming, it leaves itself bare 


Ignorance, growing 

without control throughout the land

It lays waste the plains, the waters

Voraciously feeding off all free things

Until it cannot cease


Love, it begs, yet no one gives

Still waiting, hoping

Patiently for victory

I created this piece after all of the ignorance occurring since the election of 2020, which is still happening today. I typically love writing about current events and attempting to disguise them by using analogies!
