THIS WORLD, THIS LIBERAL PANTHEON

 

 

THIS WORLD, THIS LIBERAL PANTHEON 

 

Emerging menus long since born

that marinate in vanity

predominated by belief

on platters of bland piety.

 

Served with condescending scorn

and shading to naivety

with structural flaws the orders served

committed to no sanctity

 

Soon bound by bond of equal born

in populist  societies

insidious threats disperse the power

displaced by rising sanity.
