OctaveZero: Bill of Writes – WTP 8

Sisters of Light – We The People VIII

There once were three sisters of light
who’d been in a terrible fight.

The tall one with the torch
is locked forlorn on her porch;

as her sister, the blind one,
raped, outstretched, undone
lays naked and shivers in late summer’s sun;

the third and the oldest,
– the used to be boldest
– the one they thought coldest
before,
she’s been roughly mistreated
overwhelmed and unseated
by two filthy bastards and lies they’ve repeated.

Now, if you’re just fine with this story
of three sisters made bloody and gory
then stay on your couch and just sit there and stare
when we finally march you don’t need to be there.

but, if anger and outrage are some things that you feel
By All Means!
come stand on the stage We’ve got a dictatorship to repeal.

(thank you to Theodor Geisel)
