Alexander’s Tears
January 25, 2019
The violent have taken the streets
They built their Babels up and have done worship there
In praise of naked works of men; (whose usuries condemn)
By dreams have mapped out, taught canards, involved to death,
Have taken away as hostage men’s elective reasoned breath,
And falsified the tide of polity
Waylaid at freeway interchanges, bestirred all luxury
They are the kidnappers, whose victims seek to greet them,
Their mouths resign, consign, the rock of ages dearly
To seek out shallow, narrow, grievous, plastic theory
Valiantly up on jaguars they ride
Contending, thus denied:
Their carrion trains exacting prize delights on penal lines
Gorillas cleaving epic chunks with sweep of cordial scythe
Ensampling:
That high sierra thunder stroke make hover, come outbreaking,
Bringing belated homespun dues and now overtaking;
A sure and shotgun dear encheason wakes, awaits for evening
The demons come again riding a knife blade
Here is no lair asylum
Here only cataclysm
The power of means unravels tumbling all to fragmentation
Systemic rafters buckle folding up to a devastation
The people’s hope returning on a broken nation
Grand idle ideals topple;
The engineers of sky-fall brawl and reckon tallies
On Zion hill call inklings; longing, caterwauling
Almighty
Replete and catastrophic antinomian first stones
Come on, redacting expectation. The times recycle
