All those bloated rich that wave their mandibles
at some sorry bolshie youth
to say: "The universe doesn't owe you a living,"
as if he or she thin, idealist-sweetling

and those blood-suckers are a blot -
and a shadow of a bare hill with cruel crosses -

to see him shining on everyone but them;
those manipulators of dis-empowerment, disenfranchisement
cooling towards absolute zero while the masses sunbathe.
