Warlord of the 21st Century

Small visions
Staggering insolence
muted souls pinned by vertebral thrusts 
lay in feathered wasteland

Spinning tongues imperial  platitudes 
Right of passage  misguided 
impenetrable to the bone
 
The shake-up 
Sharks teethe to flesh
an agent of defilable means
It scathes the soul 
of the inveterate, the young
and feasts upon its own.
