A Grim Slice of Rhetoric Politic-Pie

Be careful, Acirema
torrential are the rains
that befall your treeless soil.

Be careful, Acirema
denial is a river that runs deep
unfathomable the depths of your flooded streams.

Be careful, Acirema
what gloom, your squandered potential
retain from times wasted your dwindling remnants of era.

Be careful, Acirema
of your copious memorials, in their heaps
your decrepit utopia craves no more.

Be careful, Acirema
shelve your inner warrior
snarling and catalogued, let it collect dust.

Be careful, Acirema
your prized infinity may conclude
should your grudging manner made an infinite.
