Behold the white elephants
that trample down the grassroots
to totter across the tile
in designer ankle boots
and find reflected in chrome
the love they crave back at home.
See the monstrous monoliths
that herd and harass the sheep
– paper-weighted and lazy –
on their pointless pilgrimage
to purge at the neon shrines
and chase down the hollow dreams
sold to them by moneymen.
Pity these creatures, bleating
as they wield their plastic swords
to slay the beastly burden
that promised them such rewards.
