beast, made man
I saw a beast
clad in army green
short and stout
at helm of affairs
face of monster
goggled; dark as ever
stony as gibraltar
quick to scorn
I saw a beast
whose heart has died
long before he was formed
… loosened to a nation
and, the beast lives
in the heart of the nation
in the heart of aso rocks
short of mans grip
there,
sought him, his victims
beast against man
man against man
and man with beast
raped the nation;
lent her wealth
…to their distant accounts
