Chance/Dance of Discourse

Stuporpower

the country
founded
upon crimes
against humanity
now finds itself
judging
the lesser gods
of crookedness
and commerce

the crucifixion crews of You’reup
seeking to
transform themselves
have only created
greater monsters

Amerrykkka
is the final
fountain of youth –
the final cesspool
of the truth

barbarians and heathens
need each other
here
to hide their ignorance
and their fears
in the crucible of skin
and in the clashing
of spheres
