    The Invisible Yoke

     Our underground deepens
    as they dig their own graves
    with mean ends leaching our walls
    until our cities become ghosts

    A study of our maps
    they creep under
    burrowing and uprooting
    until all our landmarks fall

    fattened and fertilized
    by the gore of babes
    they eat our young
    then hand us the napkin

    a vexing of our souls
    as they dance the gloat
    wisdom juxtaposed in a lie
    we become the goat 

    we sing praises
    while dwelling in caves
    they're out in the open
    parading their perversion 

    the worm turns
    in their dunghill pavement
    with our last laugh
    revealed in blood-soaked arraignment

    The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
