Black Period of the Cubist

We're living in a warped three-ring circus 
of cannibals, pedophiles, and baby devourers.
A cubist's twisted black period.
Apparently, transparency means three million pages 
of black rectangles and deflecting blame.

Thousands of victims, only two arrests 
and one decommissioned "prince". 
Scores of witnesses paid off, silenced, or sloughed off.
The world has awakened but is queerly indifferent.
