At Last It Came To Pass

As this fevered vision comes to pass these saviors with their plagued feet grinning lips bereft of truth and teeth sorely hunger for our wealthy carcass Armed with a legion of noisy mosquitoes billboards, loudspeakers are screaming out glossy party programs from north and south hide in shiny boots ulcers of a leprous toe Heaven on earth, Utopia upon this earth fills this polluted air with a fog of expectations empty bellies, potholes and dry taps yawn in frustration to these aired slogans trampled in to their death Beggars in suits trail along with their plates marching in crescendo to galled pipers tones crumbs will buy souls truly branded ill fortune whose chalked fingers met no lettered slate To the royal banquet of a nations carcass strewn by violence, greed and poverty in plates chokes off earnest prayers that arrives so late as our rotten saviors gasp, sigh and pass Awed we stare at their remains in animated shock choking upon their loot they run out of sheer luck.
