(This poet began her work eager ~ eager ~ to contribute to a society which has complacently seen her destroyed.

While she will not lift a finger for its destruction, she has been brought to a place in which she can with equal complacency see it meet the same fate.

Historian Zambrotta: Please print this post for your ongoing compilation regarding this targeted terrorism ~ which has been blithely ignored by law enforcement for two long years ~ nationwide.

A nation which has no backup for its poets deserves no backup from its poets.)

Come Down, Come Down, Come Down

Built upon a slippery slope
This societal tower
Predation on those with no hope
Hour by hour by hour

Until, surfeit with suffering
It can’t but to its owners bring
Inevitably sure decay
In sunshine of a brighter day

Dedicate to Mammon
Suffering, despair and famine
Now in your own cold waters drown
Come down, come down, come down
