Give it back to them---
Their country maimed and
reclaimed,
sterilized in iodine,
fortressed,
stripped clean of nascent
perceptive reason
Fodder stoked for the risk
averse,
clamoring for safe keeping, and
securely
clutching chemically derived
commodities… (in lieu of…)
Give it back to them---
Primal and uncured,
basking in lust for fearmongering
hysteria-colored lens, encroachment
of the other
Rights versus privilege, in
mutual exclusivity,
in birth and bleeding,
in worship of the suckling pig…
Give it back to them---
Anesthetized psyches return,
in a revised dream deranged into
order,
its religion an indivisible mass
of narrowly defined inversion
from ingrained and learned
principles
into delineated acceptable
outcomes…
Give it back to them---
Leaching in the well,
indefensible
trails of plastic diluted and
divided,
infinitely halved, invasive
digestion,
washed along, or emitting stacks
The parties return to shell games,
in concerted concentration
MM 2/17
