The Majority

As the world watches
you
in a fish bowl
God shook
you
to smite
me
into reality
to see
into the looking glass
and like a dream hybrid
this nightmare begets the living

Where death eats life
beggars thieve
we all dine
at this wretched table
cannibals smirk
beggars all
our monocled deity watching
the Lush sneers through her surfeit stemware
eyes aligned with
you
in your quaking fishbowl
