Useful Grockle


When you just want to win 

using determination and rage

but you don't know what it is

you want to win

just that 

you're winning


you may become a bully

to wield power over something 

to give your ego a boost 

without a new car

clothes or perfume


you become 

a useful grockle to fascists 

who know how 

to make life redundant 

on their playing field


To love life, the life of those who depend on you

those expelled from circles of celebration

those who care, create stories

about home and shelter

those who weep for humanity

who give dignity to all

it’s time consuming


but it doesn't march to death camps
