so goes...
so goes
the battle
silent swords
sharp shooters
wielding axes
as heads
roll
basketed
bloody
the streets
in resistance
history proves
great similarities
today's force
is not civil
or revolutionary
simply reconstructive
restoration
repair
refinish
polish
the tarnished
away
the misuse
the corruption
the illegalities
of function
a coup
a century and a half
past
sold
and converted
to the high
bidder
bankers
abound
to rule
every day forth
time
to burn
their playhouse
down
resurrect
the beauty
of craftsmanship
bring back
dignity
and respect
to the houses
freedom built
liberty exists
behind
the veil
the dirty curtain
from
the smoke filled
theater
the stage
only needs
to be janitorial
policed
tidied
as humans
we are given
thumbs
to build
construct
hammer
and screw
the pooch
from time
to time
as part
of
the trade
the learning curve
of apprenticeship
lost arts today
as robots
mean
to replace
the slaves
for
it is no longer
quality
simply quantity
as it is
no longer
equal
now it must be
equity
and having
whored
your way
to the top
you yourself
have lost
your worth
that's a fact
jack/jackie
so goes
the battle
