The Gleaners

Leave the grapes
on the vine
for longer than the rest
labor has been overrated
hunger says it best
workers are the construct
of fat ones strutting sated
from the farmhouse to the table
leave the wheat
in the fields
to be picked at by the birds
the ones who burn the
construct down
are those who tend the earth
ownership is rape
peace is compromised
leave the grapes
they’re yours and mine

the gleaners will be heard
