the myth of the leader

Jan31
the myth of the leader
His magnanimous smile - god himself

would not have wished a better
set of whites. And red.

the woe of the mother
Her attempts to smile - god herself

would not have wished a bitterer
set of blues. And red.

earth cannot wish out worms of steel
to fix this, but it can, does, must.
