Hell is in the Hierarchy - today's poem

Hell is in the Hierarchy


Hell, her brothers and sisters

mom and dad, uncles, aunts, and grandparents

form a bureau for my benefit

 

The secret sub-committee conducted for years

has led inevitably to

a Point of Inflexion: Now!

 

Time has come for her to teach me a lesson

subdue me, station troops in my apartment -

I must mount mental militia to contest for my soul

 

Out on streets lonely, blasted and threadbare

from benevolent governance, I shuffle along

in the revolution behind my eyes
