Hyena Symphony of Discordance

I’m working on a poem
about natural laws
assigned by God
granted in blessing
bestowed with grace

the power of the word
freedom of speech
personal expression by tongue
cluck your little heart out, baby

about the principle
of non-aggression
and the absolute necessity
of self-defense
mellow, smiling, happy-go-lucky
with a preternatural instinct to
survive

tyranny
and all its empty vessels
here on earth

vacuous and hollow

given over
to the bloodthirst
of collective power

and the cackling hysteria
of a sugar high
pipe dream
shallow as
the suits that shield
vacant thrones
