Modernity

By Andrew R. Duckworth

Sitting and stewing in a silent rage
Yet showing their face as if on the stage-
The spotlight on them, as they long desired-
Here is your moment- unburdened, uncaged.

Why not show off why you can’t bear to stand?
Does a spark of new evils hold your hand?
Or has your sense of reason gone expired?
The whole of Hell strikes up the wicked band.
