dictators are like amplifiers

Jon Nakapalau

who use the hollow souls

of their followers
to echo their slogans

bouncing off chambered desire
till the cracks of hate overflow 

and it floods the land
and all can breathe 

only between punches to the gut.

    You might classify this as surrealist, Jon, but the symbiotic relationship here is clear - and true.

    Thanks
