Notes About The Poem

So it's come to this

It's right out in the open for everyone to see ~

puppets bought and paid for
dancers strung and played
delusional parrots with microphones
hostages read the demands of a madman
while maintaining somewhat of a poker face

It's never been so obvious : integrity has its price.
