First they cut the radio
then they cut the television they locked down the internet then locked up the opposition.
Underwhelmed by the attempt. Overall what else is left? Underscore the over-paid whose bed is already made.
And I'm underground.
We hid in the library
of the university.
Under “O” for oligarch.
Under “P” for patriarch. Undermine the underground. Under siege, complete surround.
