Go, young man,
and conciliate cravings,
menacing palls the cherished
realm. Shelves are left barren
for frantic looks, as aisles
reload a virtuous plunge of
cobwebbed books, decaying
prints accolades of vice barren 
save one issue ...
record stamped BUNKER.

 

Youths immersed
in causality and confidence,
protest keeps step as discord
spreads outward.

 

Mein Kampf now theirs,
whimsical misfits and loose
ends, melee erupts as age and
gender are trivial.

 

Young Romanis heed,
while zeal enlivens heels
as a body passes by,
in lieu of a gurney --
a wheelbarrow suffices.

 

Cadaverous festers,
for the emboldened few,
dare pierce opacity,
glimmers flit defiant palls,
as capricious spells
law books are easily tainted,
usurpers once blind,
struggles timorously
in their judicial robes.

 

If e'er survivors
from off the streets,
perchance a hearing,
they'll hear an echoing
in the silent courtroom,
'tis the calm ere the
storm, calamity on
trial, as justice for the
dead is made more dead
than death itself.

 

50s long gone bigotry kept
Santayana periods of disorder
a bedlam of societies rise
aphoristically said,
"Those who cannot remember 
the past,
is condemned to repeat it".
   


~~a floor lies hope, shift ends, dustpan waits a couple more years.
