Scorched Earth Social Policing

a thousand tragedies paned
onto the community headlines
slashes the idle spirits

the wound enrages them to
seek out sadistic glee for the sake
to title themselves as  'woken.'

pitchforks and torches raised
looking for the guilty farmer
with swift words and stories

all the crops seared in the name
of the mindless chase for "justice."
“no god or jury; only us”

the next day arrives new tragedies,
sprouts new farmers to fight, 
old pitchforks and  torches to light 

burning all but ideas
immortalised by martyrs made
from setting the flames

not one man asks for
the purpose of the hunt or be
branded as “the problem”

they walk the same burned soil
refusing to admit that they are 
only casting flames on scarecrows

to the new age cult
criticism is blasphemy
indifference is hatred
