GUNS AND BULLETS by Sofia Kioroglou

GUNS AND BULLETS

Eternal world redeemers try to save the world
with guns and bullets in people’s heads
with endless obituaries of innocent people
entombed in epitaphs of dreams and hopes.

Sugar-coated venom purported as nostrums
to cure all pain and eradicate symptoms
of an ostensibly robust epidermis
reeking of visceral galloping putrefaction.
