Poetry

100/2023

Those icons on their self-built
Pedestals, those corrupt
Visceralities who spread
Lies as fact, do not

Wrestle

With their conscience, for
They have none.

We might think

They have no self-awareness,
When the fact is that they do, for
Without it, this edifice of untruths
Could not have been made.

And those who consent to their
Power, those who cast their ballots
In favour of these liars are
Complicit in this abuse.

Abandon this illusion
Of justice.
