Study
Study the plaintiff's challenged role
my own, my own, measured control!
Study the victim's tarnished soul
their own, their own, without extoll!
Study the capitalist's whole
its own, its own, all owning's knoll!
Study the bridgework of pride's cull
a smile, a gesture, posing's role!
Study the doctrine of console,
the more of everything ~ then go!
Study my actions, growing slow
while rabid cruelty takes hold!
Study my character's caustic's grow
absorbing difficulty's stow!
Study the teacher's "no prayer" scroll
as children emulate implode!
