What They Want

they crossed a wide savannah and found the water’s edge lashed wood with vine to find that laid beyond the horizon - that is what they wanted they shored upon novel rock came across new forage and animals - and ate, satiated, they lay - that is what they wanted other beings being spied through trees quietly, watched and studied, til marauded and killed then danced and chanted - that is what they wanted and so take time to encircle the sphere arrogating that found as rightly divine right what's there theirs claimed - that is what they wanted bolting to the skies to see another view a feather in the cap, they discovered, they flew - that is what they wanted at the new apogee with explosive new abilities they drop in on - Dresden, Nagasaki, Chongqing, Grozny - that is what they wanted yet more of kind are kindly found to take in wandering and hungry to feed, teach and clothe, that is - what they wanted pan away to another day to see club and machete arcing hard and arcing far to stain the light crimson - that is what they wanted then pouring plaque to her feet "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning"... "the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door"* because that, is what they wanted exaltation of the like, condemnation to counterpoint vindictive to vindicate they abrogate what they hate - that is what they want beings are informally birthed into their normality to be ruled or rule by helical curved desires maybe no matter what is wanted who or what cannot resist our human desire of want, ability to cease and desist acts of injury, of perjury to evolve to another being because that, is what they want © Goode Guy 2013-01-24 * The New Colossus by Emma Lazarus http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_New_Colossus
