Rollover
We did not survive
the ice-age
the slave trade
and trips across the sea
The folly of the fascists
the floods in sudden flashes
the denials written
to rewrite history.
The architects
designing norms
and finest forms
of misery
The mass destruction
and mind numbing
the invasion of everything
and T.V.
We did not survive this
just to roll over.
We did not survive
the plague of rats
and bureaucrats
the storming institutions
unholy banks
& P.R think tanks
with love package
destitution.
The triple fucks
of Imperial time
political lines
and legalese confusion
Critical peers
spread like cancer fears
survival of the slickest
and deluded.
We did not survive
the broken pacts
and heart attacks
death of the poets pen
Tears of grief
the dangerous reef
the last countdown
back from ten.
Collections of
grand inventions
the most distractions
rule of the hollow men
The high achievers
and grand deceivers
who promise
better than then.
