there’s a dark place
deep within the bowels
of our dying empire
where men without faces
gather

and their unwavering fealty
hit the jackpot today
but nobody here
is prepared
or would rather

even the king
seems slightly surprised
as these faceless men
not so quietly cash in

a celebration
where the cruel
is the win

now as the brutality of it all
goes down
their opportunities
exponentially increase

no more catch and release

with visions by the they
of zip-tied children in tow
they go
wherever our lord god
will anoint

and those big beautiful bonuses
to the most barbaric among men
belies this
the king’s own truth

which was always the point

Peace/Love/Organize/Oppose/Resist
