The Call of the Child
or
Butchers and Fiend-like Queens
"No pain, no pain."
-- the Rationally Ethical ideology of
efilism
fully in support against dying
slowly
in Terror
unimaginable --
as well as Agony
unthinkable
* * *
I know yet each new second something wicked here shall come,
still merely by the pricking of this common rule of thumb --
in brief, worldwide a child routinely dies quite slow in pain
to serve Ambition dangerous for its self-crowning gain.
* * *
a dedication of Respect
for
the ceaseless Horror untold
(in addition to unnecessary)
of
countless children
both human and nonhuman
trapped in the wild
a revolving helios rhyme menippean satire on
the superficial veneer of human civilization --
the wolf behind the serpent
under't
march, 2023 -- yet human Reasoning
still the ignorant victim of nature
primeval
