False- on flying feet
Shawls of holy bleats
Call down his mighty fleet
Callous men of twelve defeats
Truly of the uncaring dawn
Lies the stiff, porcelain doll
Green and red, the pawns of the lawn
Our World-Collective Greenwich Atoll
This nomad collective
A messiah of glass
Aren’t they so selective?
Aren’t the brass so crass?
The caveat of the cavalier:
Gold is so brittle
The loudest ears of golden leers
And how they change so little
The nomad rejective
A Pariah of sand
Aren’t they so reflective
Of once-golden land?
False on flying feet
Tall: the new-world sleet
Call down the mighty fleet
Callous men of greater feats
