So expedient, slowly deviant…
Though subordinate… (We all compromise…)
Inarticulate… (We still recognize…)
Shadows rising…
Protest innocence, ghosts of ignorance...
Bread on depths obscured… (What do we dare bait?)
Sinking unobserved… (Hic sunt dracones.)
Pearls cast to swine…
So vicarious, martyred surrogates…
Drive the goat away… (Quis custodiet…)
Blind, the sheep remain… (ipsos custodes?)
Bleating the lines, marching in time.
Soft chime the bells, straight into hell…
