FORMER UK
Rhetoric of the present spilled like the syntax of the past and its ‘Rivers of Blood.’
Enoch Powell called it? A little bit of history repeating.
Fuck fascism in all its forms; anagrammed as former ‘glory.’
Or the patriarchy coddled by capitalism, suckled by white supremacy.
Return to former values? When slaves and serfs were easily silenced.
Manmade constructions of power dominate. An alpha male —
Underneath the skin, a pulse.
Knowing and acting upon that knowledge should not be disparate beats.
