Biting into the ethnocentric
Intellectually stunted populace
Political bloodsuckers feast on your fears —
Relishing in distress and polarization
They bathe in the bloody filth of disinformation
But I cannot blame them, when you offer your neck
Bleeding you dry, but there's a constant supply

Spot on with what’s going on in the US but I hope the tide is turning as more people have the scales fall away from their eyes, Sam…
Agreed. I am hopeful too 🙂
we swim in a sea of them
some of them want to use you, some of them want to be used by you — everybody’s lookin’ for somethin’… 😏😒
Absolutely! You are right about that.
“They bathe in the bloody filth of disinformation” — A biting indictment (pun intended), Sam, and there seems to be a “constant supply,” alas, making for a very messy election. (Just for the future, note that the given word should be used in the body of the poem. I apologize for not making that clear in my prompt.)
Thank you! (Ah! No worries. Thanks for letting me know. 🙂 )
This creature’s mouth even resembles Trump’s. Such a valid metaphor!!!
lmao! Sweet! I am happy everything fits! 🙂
Sam, you nailed the intensity and critique of manipulation in this poem.

Thank you, David! 🙂
Topical poem, vampires do exist, charming many willing victims. I think they’re more dangerous than the mythical creatures. Excellent poem.
Thank you! 🙂
So many willing victims for those leeches pretending to be something more.
Very true, Björn!
Excellent social commentary, Samantha!
Thank you, Nicole! 🙂
