Let's Read Poetry # 36: Bend Down Select

Source

Bend down select,
The symbol of
Your cosmic enslavement.

Bend down select,
The icon of
Our national doom.

Bend down select,
The symbol of
Your agreed servitude.

Bend down select,
Just bend down
And select your
Confirmed slave status.

Just bend down,
And select your
Confirmed second-hand status.

Bend down select,
The loved doom,
The embraced sadness,
The cherished lie.

Be eagle eyed,
Sharpen your talons
Like the kite
In ever readiness
To grab the
Dismally discarded offspring
Of our ostentatious
Foreign mother hen.
