GRIFT

It is WRONG – I don’t care how GREAT or not you are. We are not simply GRIST for your mill, the churn for your butter, or the stones under your feet. The notion that you can GRIFT your way to trillions on our backs, profiting off our pain may seem like winning now. But you are sowing the seeds of your destruction. Everything you tear down just clears the way for us to build anew. 

Georg’ann

In the garden, 
under yellow flag iris, 
sat a tiny SNAIL shell, 
almost pure WHITE.

So began a children’s story. 
It held promise of enchantment. 
Until tragedy struck. 

Such an IDIOT. 
Should have GRIPT ‘er tighter. 
Lost it to a GRIFT. 
Now my sweet story 
in deceitful hands
