Rebellion is the Reward for Masquerade in Government

The masquerade of government
The self-love of speeches
The mistaken adulatory applause
The dislodged sensory power
Drunk on the resonant dancing
The celebration of your sacrifice
The disembodied brain
Your vacant imagination
Thou shalt not murder
The little children look upon
You in your dramatised
Charade of fawning followers
God is claimed not unjust
Then they are not your god
You defile your humanity in
Our eyesight and earshot
The great dead did not
Bequeath this but desire
They wanted better for all
Not a tawdry cabal of speech makers
There is no kinship in ruling
Immiseration is your legacy
Justifying your cowardice
Drowning land with fire
Dowsing people with lies
Rebellion rebellion
The people will be called
Rebellion
