They, The Hunters

THEY

They hunted game and gathered roots. 
Now they hunt advantages and gather possessions. 

They tear down forests
to build shopping temples
that sell ecological products.

Fathers, mothers and holy children
freeze and go hungry
while they, the golden greedy,
complain that their victims are not useful.

They wear tiny flags
above empty hearts
to decorate heartless authority
and plant artificial fear
to harvest obedience.

They are blind to the light of justice,
the beauty of love
and the task of life.

They hunt domination with courageous lies
dipped in poison words
spoken through manicured smiles.

The truth hunts them with reality.
