Malleability of Us All
an anthem of any uprising —
(c)omposition four is the best key in perfect notation; ear-blasting and heart-wrenching.
spitting chorus of (viva la) revolution
might never make a big hit in top 40 chart
where the war for the safest space
or the space of the safest war
preserve the relevance
for those untrained ears
that fail to listen to concealed fears
beyond the 40(s) in (un)popular culture
ever since the rats banned sprangle of humanities branches
before a man could find his (f)ucking key in bloody battlefield
before you or i or they finished counting the stars
in the tombstones or in our skies
but, power is a mental state and age is merely a number after all.
