he looked hassled
overwrought i could
see his commonness
snatched away by a
conniving political
party, a simple man
they pushed a broom
in his hand making
him clean every
street every gully
his pristine soul
politicizing garbage
they sullied .. those
that want to build
houses for god
statues in the sea
but nothing for the
poor the homeless
gone to seed ..
politics of lust
power greed
i am charlie
cartoonist
satirically
as he breathed
his last and his
sketching pen
began to bleed
from the clutches
of hate racism
bigotry he was
ultimately freed
more than crooked politicians its good human cartoonists that we need
