Top Down Revenge
The High Inquisitor is being assigned this week
to determine who is able to meet criteria
and who shall be sent into exile
the details are simple
and rely on the ‘bending of a knee’
the ‘kissing of a ring’
the ability to follow orders without question
versus some, obscure thing written somewhere
about ‘free speech’, ‘free press’, ‘shall not be infringed’
these must be some ‘irrelevant’ statements,
outdated concepts
that no longer apply
only loyalty matters
an oath, a duty
to subserve
beware the wrath of this new whip master
or face
the lash.
