How foolish to mistake the authoritative for the wise!

Who let them declare war on others on our behalf?
Who let them declare war on nature in our names?

Grim-jawed government grifters' frubbishing scatomancy,
fantasy fodder, ideological chyme, drive-thru drivel,
subsidized by inattentive carriers who forget that
profit is not the only target of con.

What will be the vindictive poses of the vindicated?

The ignorant, the complacent,
the coward, and the tyrant.
One nation, indie-visible, Undergod.
Issues of fitness to privilege the contentious,
an uninspected turn of events
provoking the passive intensity of the passionless
sans carnassials.

What would victory even look like?

What the ecological impact
of the cleaning of the Augean stables?

Why the pretense of shock when politicians prove debauched?
How could they be more representative of their constituents?

Opportunity reveals what even coercion cannot uncover.
