SWINE FLEW

could this spreading swine flu
reflect our snouts stuck
deep in the trough,
ears closed to grunts,
we snort and we hunt,
we’re eaten by greed

our hunger for more
and our neglect of the score
as we gobble our earth
in gluttonous riot

shut tight the door
to those who need
our love and our time
as they cower and hide,
their empty grumb/
ling bellies down
on the floor?
