cages within the slaughter
Profiteers prey upon the wounded
Branded comodified beings consumed
In consumption
Led to the plunder of themselves

The modern gleaners 

Postmodern standardized cities 
ubiquitous high rises of steel and glass

In halls once filled with promise bright,
A shadow creeps and dims learning's light.
Reform, a word with noble aim,

Transmogrify the sensationalist
An astute ableism of absolution and idiocy
Divine demeaning meanings demoralizing democracy
Through persuasive procrastination and promiscuity
Festering fragmented feelings forgiven for failing
Jailing juveniles jealously just for jokes
Writing worrisome wit without witnesses to worry
Original orange and...

and ruthless to liberalism.
Pragmatism functions...

The process in a hive
surgical snippets of allopathic
