Oligarchical Nightmares
by
J. M. Hallett
There is evil in your survival
Now that hope has turned to stone
And you poke around the rubble
Picking clean the bones
Harvesting the prayers
Devouring them one and all
Every dream and aspiration
Every wish 'twas ever scrawled
Their only consolation
Those whose lives you've cycloned
Is in knowing that very soon now
You and yours shall be dethroned
