Estate distaste:
Shining city on a hill
Thousand points of light
Toiling to fill the till
For future sunset bright
Banal blatant brutality
Indecent insolent impunity
Civilian culled casualty
Iota-less indemnity
Massing poor, tired and huddled
Receiving wretched refusal
Shoreline, borderline muddled
Impenetrable walled portal
Mixed up dreams for many
Messed up nightmares for rest
Hoping for golden epiphany
Others for lives without unrest
Style / type:
Structured: Western
Review Request (Intensity):
I want the raw truth, feel free to knock me on my back
