playing pretend

by Alexis D. - Virgo

worrisome clowns
with alkali hearts
droning repetitive choruses
of unduly patriotism
as detumescence settles itself
into the ids of those who believe

oh, those worrisome clowns 
convincing us we have been abandoned
by our gods
so their words become our vessels
and as we board  
we close our eyes tightly
and begin the voyage
to the dissolution of this mankind
