Cocoon of Injustice

In the assembly of skunks,

Congregation of pigs,

Parliament of fowls,

Decency is an abomination of the soul

  5            Morality- a crime in the mind.

In the gathering of scorpions

Congress of snakes,

Meeting of dogs

Innocence is harmed

10           Purity, a horse flogged dead

            In the rally of sheep

            Gathering of snails

            Freedom is cowed to silence

            Pliancy- an esteemed theatrics

15           The cocoon harbours them all.

            Wickedness is a messianic right

            The strong enjoy.

            Injustice and filth-

            An indefeasible prop of the govnots

20           The putrid pus in the festering anus of the strong

            Provides the milky solvent in the tea of the weak.

            Brotherhood is maintained, of course, when

            Our sweat fuels

            The lamp with which they read our bills of horror.
