centrifugal

tendencies

by Roberto Lavidez

filthy habits

of servility

have been

ingrained

by centuries

of oppression

and abject poverty

systems of life

in the gutter

are fundamentally

irreconcilable

corpses who adopted

an anti-establishment

posture are abandoned

in smokey mountain

of industrial garbage

have always been

present since orgy

of book burning

through long ages

of darkness

with no coherent

framework to

organize thoughts

against vulgar

displays of immense

reinforcement

of segregation

the haranguere 

of crowds

subject to

irrational shifts

in opinion

confronted

with profound

challenges

stumbles into

the daylight

of history

from a long

troubled sleep

the system faces

severe internal

stresses and strains

draining sewers

of sneakers

for the affluent

auctioned for

a limited slice

of the spectrum

ostracizing class

at the behest

of consummate

warriors staging

coups hired by

discredited

moguls as

obsolete as the

cowboy in boots

made from

exotic skins
