Survival of the ......

Flying swoops on innocent folks , is not an unknown happening. In politics as well as elsewhere. Sometimes, these events sensitize you to what many think could be ordinary events at , say, a beach. My friend , Kavi, thinks this is worth documenting.

(So do I. )

So many
launder
black fortunes
into white;
throw sand
in the eyes
of the powers that be.....
And those in control,
gutlessly
ebb away
like the tide
that dissipated at the beach.



But sometimes,
the flowing tide
brings in
a few,
inadvertantly misled
into
a rich wet patch.

The water recedes,
taking along
the 'clever' ones,
and
as the
ordinary
confused one
struggles to live,
the Black one swoops down.

A Show Capture
while the real ones get away....
