Poems
Mar 2017
Inspired by Old Gods
Patriotism, dead, dying a decrepit old region
Such violent imagery, juxtaposed, versus common refrain
Love of country, we cannot escape our past.
Patronizingly ignorant, embolden our greatness,
our ironic freedom, memorialized the blood shed for it,
the wrong blood.
