HUMAN ANIMALS... THE SAVAGE

New Paragraph

The self hate you drugged me with on my first day of Kindergarten has worn off. 

The blindness you inflicted upon our people lifted with the sunrise after the thousandth bomb.

Your curse was set loose

unchaining the monster who prefers delicacies

someone termed the dish, children of darkness 

the menu describes deep eyed dark meat

date tongues that speak a language so ancient

you couldn't tell the time

While you've been pushing your poison 

driving this marauding vehicle 

its turbines turned us all into stone, the most beautiful resilient kind 

This Monoculture hides the heavens from us

That's the name of the two-headed monster, the ideologue that wants you to pick left or right

When was the last time you saw a star?

I thought about this all night, the extinguisher of light

My people

Hearts 

Let us dissolve every drop of poison fed us through these pharmaceuticals they call food,

through images that flash across screens, 

through lies this Medusa head snakes through our ears 

a deformity they demand we call education

Let us sing love songs to our lover, trace his lips with our index fingers. 

They won't be able to hear us, 

they don't have ears.

The signs are everywhere.

Meanwhile, Marie Antoinette swigs wine and shouts let them eat cake.

Have you ever met an olive tree that is full of fear?
