An ode to the measure of institutions…or its men
aaagh…
so cutting…the scythe of measure
of men… adjudged by ‘gods’
‘so plebian in express’
vis-à-vis their givens…supposed…as ones to treasure
who…vide ritualized decrees define
preemptive authority to exorcise…hidden ghosts
spirited as ‘riches’ of lingua…or builders of ‘Babel’s’..
of cocky towering…to the divine…
or are they…
first citizens…anointed priests that chair
bunkered in ‘walls of eminent silence’…
in academic brokering to ivory…the outside
an insiders skeletal…do they bare…
lost souls pecked…as vultures then consume
its rotting flesh…clean…in this temple…
‘marking’ passages…to oblivions…wherever to
in ‘ heavens’ grade or…’hells’ subsume
or turn away
as second class citizenry…to slap or plunder
with cheek…duly offered on the altar in idealized spirit…
to trials of conscience…to be moved
who must then…I wonder?
who must…to plastic ideals…then surrender?
