Men Without Merit

MEN WITHOUT MERIT

smallminded lopsided 
these are the
men I mind

jealous of anything outside
their re-invented Utopia
like jealous little gods that
would have the whole world
bow to their insidious 
arrogance wanting the
world flat because they
are faking a fauxflat 
perception to launder
the grossness of all
other souls

they paint secrets in Arabic
which is all Chinese to me
like trophy hieroglyphics you
see

there is a moon in my sky
although they specialize in
chalking out the light…still
mermaids swim like angels
under untouchable
tides they hide
dulling and stilling
men without merit
