Severe & Censure

standing like kings and queens

on the dias of power

pronouncing the edicts of value

upon the heads of the

righteous, the chosen,

Severe & Censure while

smiling curled smiles of

pride and pretention.

Wield those demoralized

cliche' privileges with aplomb.

Severe & Censure

wearing hackneyed gloves

covering crusted calluses

from constant use.

Severe & Censure this revolution

my lovelies for rare is the moment,

shine rejuvenated fears of

your fellow man... hold them

scold them, yes, be bold.

Severe & Censure the

the weak, the wicked,

leave your mark in the dark

where no one can see

how mean you can be.

Smile on pleasant people

as you tip toe through and over

the bodies of your dead.

Stir no soup, lay no blanket,

ease yourselves.

Severe & Censure

to your hearts content.

ease yourselves now,

shhhhhhh, all is well.

 

 

Written in honor of the young Anonymous persona recently 'outed' by a self styling Occupy in the northwest, predominantly white, most certainly potentially elite, and wanna be elite ... gatekeeping at its best.

this is not a revolution.

We face many enemies, we poor, we tired, we unpeople.

It's time we say it out loud.

the middle class can and does the bidding of the elite.

they have a choice to make.

we'll know what you've decided when you open the doors of Occupy to the poor and brutalized.

Personally, I would have posted this poem to All of NewsVine. I do that when I have a poem that is a current event one. :) though some think it is rather courageous as it opens up to a bigger, rather rowdy, commentary. :)
