Suits (A Poem of Modern Empire)

Monarchs didn’t have to bloody their hands to enrich themselves and the court of "noble" land owners that served them…they had armies and “explorers” for that.

The monarchs of today, which we refer to as Captains of Industry, enrich themselves through Ceos, shareholders and resource acquisition which they call "wars on terror"…and the courts that serve them are world governments.

Charities only give back a fraction of what should not have been taken in the first place. If you want to change the world. Change the way business is done.

Suits

( A Poem of Modern Empire)

Soaked in indigenous blood

Perfect in cut

Ultimate in luxury

Prototypes of the latest fashion

Arm-candy spouses mill about

forgotten, vestigial organs

organizing charities -

necessary P.R. for

The Man who

takes everything

Plastic, public smiles

ever-mindful

of the stables of young flesh

housed nearby

for the exclusive use of
their conquerors

Marbled walls

flanked with official portraits

in the hallowed halls of

Will-To-Power
