Doormat of abuse,
ignored by society.
Egoism reigns.

Doormat of killings,
injustice, impunity,
Fear silenced many.

Filthy corruption.
Doormat of fearful silence:
art of survival?

Doormats of looped lies,
political strategists,
Brainwash power play.

Doormat of evil,
Doormat of naiveté,
Doormat of silence.

Are you a doormat?
Instrumental apathy?
Silent accomplice?

Doormat of blindness:
shut eyes to humanity.
Honest, humane heart?

~ Angelica  Hopes, haiku
