scapegoat

did i watch it happen  

or few mammals in closets,

did i walk on your streets 

or construct new lockups? 

priesthood turned in,

tore volumes of past,

i can hear this narcissism 

"you've to break your fast,"

soils never need to 

forget to forgive at last,

seeds spurt out alone but

can you harvest such mass?

brooms or contracts,

street cleaning sophists,

consensus or charges,

does your senses only

work while on drugs, 

answer, dear fascists? 

one day, i swear i will 

line up to bulldoze your

churches and the court,

i might sleep on flowers

but i am not a scapegoat.
