8868 The Art of Politics
[by S. David] [art by Ekaterina Smirnova]

But the blood
Was up
The frenzied fed
Crowds grew yes
Feeding frenzy
All art lost
“Peace peace”
Cried
The organizers
“Perhaps wait see
We can achieve”
But anger hatred
Ruled the art
Of politics bowed
Stones flew
Armed fear
Responded
Civilization
Wavered
It is only
Veneer
Rules must be
Enforced
Civilization
Group minds
Give the lie
