4.16.21 - Diets of Distraction

Rome was not burned in a day
It suffered an agonizing decay
Pillars raised in golden streets
Finery and art, exquisite treats
Fattened off the backs of masses
Blind prophets cried of salvation
Wastewater wage middle classes
Starved, practicing diets of distraction

1.6.21 - Sue Infamy

Glass broken in a thousand fallen shards 
Grey matter shattered by false Red hats 
Fates heard these drums beat, once anon 
Over distant lands and other gory shores 
 
Maws that guzzled up corn syrup, not history 
Gleeful greed-fattened hearts unfurled Rome 
Hate wraps words on bricks flung with fervor 
Before crumbling hospitals close their doors 
 
Pasty dissonance so loud the towers tremble 
While Privileged fan fires, led by Denier's guilt 
Cities burn, while heavy clouds refuse to weep,  
Apollyon’s mad mouth sewn chaos now reaps
