Whether by clergy, morality, polity even liberty’s laws
Presuming as absolute, consuming with violent resolute
Goals moot as extolled by brutes in government boots
Sixty-six thousand or so, fallen upon dirt, mud and snow
Blood flowed, slowed then dried amid revolutionary throes
“Don’t tread on me” the meme decreed o’er the dissented
So, ever the story of every fury holy hence mortally scented
O the mystical to persuade with the mysterious brocades
To sway the hysterical to parade `fore masses to dissuade
Threat of accusation, fear of retaliation, as blades to napes
Forced to pay, so to escape kratocracy’s promenades
Again illogical, fantastical and guileful to oddly blend
Fondly portend, strongly contend, soon to violently ascend
Onward pretending, descending the subjugated to serfdom
Like mindless drones, prone to follow any fife and drum
To live by the violent blade, bullet, bomb, now the drone
Palms o’er bogarted hearts, thus the departed `low tombstones
To live by the politician’s violent pen, paper, equally the laws
Zen’ed by covetous souls, thus dire effects by desired cause
To live by another’s leave, forced to cleave, later to bereave
Assailing agitprop as prevailing backdrop so cleverly weaved
To breathe the toxicity `tween the complicity and duplicity
Inflating the whimsy as fancied infinity till end of the elasticity
Above verses used as poetic conclusions for....
