Sonnet: The Dark Ages Return With A Vengeance

by John Kendall Hawkins


.

Monsters with their scales of Just Is romp in

all swagger, magical thinking fingers

extended warlock-like, real humdingers

calling the shots, laying down a pomp spin,

saying, it has always been that way here

in this Hell-dressed-in-Paradise clothing,

invisibly and unspoken. Nothing

can prepare for the epiphany there.

Now, there's a kangaroo court in your head,

mobsters presiding. It's not a trial

so much as a New World Order style.
