man measures his might
stripping bark
off trees
at night
in the bleak
underbelly
of freedom
caucuses
his diseased
and scarred soul
celebrates
with fireworks
made in china
the symphony
wreaks havoc
over the shouts
of incestuous
contentions
that i am better
than you
storm troopers
reignite
the paltry
defenses
of occupants
with high heeled
oblivion
headed our way
from the cape of good hope
the ivory coast
where storms
are formed
and births
of civilizations
scream out
in agony
deathbed curse
reversed
into fruit flies
that buzz
over head
