"Who rescued from the rescuing?"

 

Graffiti authored unknown

Intent on subverting back down

That plinth levitation through questioning

Control the lie enough for truth

It was always first and so feared

Rendered into diminishing boredom

That first question open to guesses

 

"Who are distressing the distressed?"

 

Ensures long arguments

Seconds wasted enable disappeared

Left to ask questions forgotten

But thanks misinformed graffiti!

Of the rescued who did the rescuing!

Wall of building spray painted onto

Scheduled demolition for motorway

 

Thanks generally to administered propaganda

Super Rescuers appeared but rocket launches

Chased them away

Improvised explosives of spoken words

Chanting "Who rescued from the rescuers?"

No other take offered that subject

The distressing invisible checked in

 

Plans now stamped hotel table put

The power with guilt only in future

Stared at the distressed in the present

Hobbled by ancestral legends

With division their only plaything

The walls allowed to exist

If only painted on them lies

To obscure question before

 

"Who is distressing the distressed?"

 

No answers offered

To Superhero nothing

Paper headlines of rescuers exposed.
