I did not come here
to become your slave
though now finding myself
subjected to your mandate
you free the guilty
imprison the just
counter revolution
arriving at your front door
what wouldn’t you do
to save your own soul
once cornered & afraid
rejected by your soul mate

here we are vulnerable to the masses
as much as we are vulnerable to ourselves
hitting the streets by any means of conveyance
now just as dangerous as staying put
doors locked & curtains drawn
so much of what’s out there has become
unrecognizable emotion
passions transformed into rage
the latter on the loose throughout the streets
what is to become of all this insanity
and where do we possibly go from here
