Truly,
A tin-god accustomed
to the brutish persuasions
of his whim and caprice
but unyielding
to the aspirations
of others
journeys only closer
to the infamy of insurrection.
Madly,
He dances to the symphony
Of his messianic delusion
sycophancy becomes
the palm fronds
heralding his descent
into Golgotha.
Deeply,
He sinks into that abyss
that is home
to the lot of them
who share history’s bed
but fail to see
the thorns in her sheets.
(Inspired by the song “Truly, Madly, Deeply” by Savage Garden. For the Arab Spring and the Sub-Sahara African tropical storm, if ever it will come.)
Sweetly,Briefly, Succintly! I like this a lot.
I like too.
