| Revolution 16" x 20" mixed media on canvas ~
Come now, Pawns,
dance to the song of the labyrinth within
for our Demigods have grown pompous
from creative accounting and caviar sins
The Bishop controls the King and Queen;
Knights shout over who's at fault;
while the Rook sweats before the cameras
over the empty coffers inside the vault
Then one Pawn is sacrificed
& the Empire comes to a halt,
yet this ailing beast made lame from greed
treats its wounds with salt
It raises impotent arms towards Masters
watching across a Chessboard made of Lives
as the Desperado approaches
with an endless supply of knives
for each dagger is made of water
& forged from truth archived
because not one Master
can untangle the beast from its own lies:
The 24th Move.
