Deceit ridden talking heads
assassinate from cyber space
leaving just about any being
walking unsteadily
onto the public stage
reputation, character
ripped from their throats
with evil intent
leaving the field to
wormy maggots crawling, boring in
throughout the corpse,
cockroaches of malicious origin walk over
youthful innocence wholly lost
essence of political thought
cut into like a ripe peach
juices slithering,
slobbering over
dark conceits and blabbering falsehoods
dead civility bleeds out
morally numb
to whatsoever could be in world or universe
unimaginable barbarism
prowls
scuttling across your floor this very night
darkness concealing the work to be done
the thing’s
claws and fangs out
shredding humanity
inside the beltway taken pure,
resigned,
unmitigated soul crushing falsity
just one eternal lie
so easy
aren’t we glad now little man?
