melted

publish my gibberish

day one at the new job
you sit down, ready to work
but you are torn off
into a scuffle
"the economy is
going bovine!"
you work for marat
and he calls for heads
he says
publish my gibberish, scribe
because that's all you are!
and i am above you, haughty
stronger and taller than you
he says, from his bathtub
publish my gibberish, scribe
because people read for drama
they read and heads will roll
watch as i collapse
and take the kingdom with me!
publish my gibberish, scribe
and even if i burn
my words will not
words, they are forever
watch them speak my name
as if i am a god
in their history books!
you publish his gibberish
and he is famous
and then he is dead
and the revolution is
terror!
you are back in class
but your head is also
rolling
watch yourself as you go
wild!
