POETRY, PROSE, AND POLITICS

Fiction, serious reality, and at times their interaction.

LIFE OF THE FLEA

Think of the life of the flea.

He sucks the blood of me.

He has no other plan,

just to feed on the blood of man,

loves the taste of me or you,

so that is what he must do.

He’s a prisoner of fate,

ready early or late.

He’s annoying for sure,

But what can he do?

That is the life of the flea.
