russian roulette

a mind to garden and weed
yes indeed
to plant the seed
of a good deed
and there-in it feed
the plead
to read
the greed 
of a society in need
to take heed
lest it bleed
...to death.

it be in debt
beset
to get
and offset
without regret
the Russian roulette
a duet
....between good and bad.

thus easy to please
and appease
to certain degrees
the unease
humans the trustees
to become adoptees
enlistees and
devotees
the guarantees
of
....eternal peace.
