The Sadhu speaks

Enforces the sordid

Lex talionis.

 

Despite the mew of the public

An entire civilization

Rolls their eyes backwards

Toward the plastic barrier.

 

Wishing for an incident

Of petty compromize.

The plastic is the pathogen

Of inside society.

 

Families burning their last candle.

Pulling the curtains closed

Over the scum of drack houses.

 

Waiting for the fire

That will melt the city

Finally into freedom.

 

Waiting for fire

With flames in their pockets.
