|
The symbol wavering over children as they play- |
|
Stripes of red wine poured across a bombarded blue sky, |
|
Dazzling explosions from sea to blemished sea... |
|
It's cruel, but it's usual; it's ordinary. |
|
There's no use in hiding behind justification |
|
With microscopic inscriptions of gluttony. |
|
We'll chisel two buildings out of their horizon; |
|
An eye for an eye, then we can call it even. |
|
Erase the inconsistency. |
|
Beat the soil until it bleeds. |
|
Extol the fumes of gasoline. |
|
Imprison, liberate, and then proceed. |
|
Demonstrate the right to bear your nooses. |
|
Does this solve our fear of blatantly losing |
|
Control |
|
Of our sense of security? |
