Читать книгу Divide and Rule - Walid Bitar - Страница 8

Heavily censored, how tunnellers live:

as we please, around here, an elite –

in the majority, persons of interest

cultivating for rices and beans.

I jump beautifully out of the way

before a backlash our lower classes

consider a right: holding the noble man’s

feet to a fire he carelessly sets.

Dance, my eldest shall study abroad.

Rather than institutions of higher

learning, I chose water muddied

by my dirty shoes, peered into depths

and started digging a hole, first step

toward destabilizing the planet,

its orbit difficult to disturb,

its hot core solid, or I’d fan the flames.
