ghoulish

from out the shadows

ghoulish

we are the lovely, the timid

we are those who wait

for heros and saviors and saints

and see!....what comes!

these!

ghoulish approximations of men

--------

(our children love vampires)

----------

we are so ghoulishly enslaved to the mirror

we are so immersed in the necessity

not to appear "outlandish"

to not believe in 'conspiracy"

or the "criminal conduct of elected white officials"

to simply become

as THEY

---

ghoulish

they come

ghoulishly

we

slink back to the shadows

and call the ghouls

heros and saviors and saints
