hold on tight
this world will only spin faster
and faster.
don't block the best view as we crumble into starvation.
inching away from the present
there isn't one thing to prevent the past.
someone saved my life
with a price tag and a vote
and a sword to my throat.
compromising my flesh
enough to feed an army
a troop
a brigade of ammunition
a planet of weapons
like the hollow laugh
of the swinging arm
from the gallows poles.
