around the ring of fire continents burn in the blistering logic of claims to islands and air spaces, waters lapping on wrong shores cultures and creeds unearthed from a hazy past
The crew-cut dictator still stands at attention at a starving army decorated like peacocks for a world watching
rockets out of fuel and fire damp squids plonking in nearby oceans decorated with plastic medals sycophants saluting goose steppers with polished ironies and propaganda to hold power within themselves
the bonfire burns bright as people perish without bread
crew-cut is unable to see them die myopic vision and overseas education he will also have to die one day with porcelain soldiers guarding his tombstone.
