I do
not care
for your
small
rule

small minds
make a small
kingdom

I will settle
elsewhere....

For you there was new epoch
beyond the synagogue
when in religious solemnity
you converted to Christianity.

You wanted to support
King and the Church 
but you were also open
for political change.

Your trophy was not only
in your political philosophy 
equal with propaganda
and your satires

on profligate oligarchy,
sectarianism, collusion,
of the Ministers
and their illustrious illusion....

polydactyl fractals
and digital manipulation
like "fat fingers"
pushing "astroturf" clods
and "usefull idiots" onto the street
into the traffic
goose stepping in lockstep
against what they're for
    unaware
their prophets decrying profits
(historically elite)
the politburo oligarchy
with power
from the barrel of a gun
and needing Adam Smith
  to eat
but oh well
what's a few hundred million
    citizens
  between fiends?...

oligarchy reigns supreme
enslaves the masses poor
the corpses queue in single file
by score and score and score
Gehennas gates of tyranny
scream and bark again
And once inside the truth revealed
 the iron will not bend
the Monarchs and the Kings, rotund
gather for the feast
and glut themselves upon the flesh
of the burden bearing beasts
Satiated, smiling
they lick their digits clean
and pizzle whip thier concubines
their slaves and diamond queans...

While drinking the long night
you became taller than the eternal
question, bitten by the moon.

Witchhunting will not stop 
in oligarchy. A human right
stands on the ivory gate to enter the dust.

The weightlessness is paraded 
nude amongst the full-lipped
follies of ornamental speech.

The duende was lacking in palace.
Rivals held the moonlight.
Now the muse will become celibate.

A giant mantis hops on a podium 
to bless the dying god, and the candle
burns whole night.
