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outdated concepts 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.
