Civilized Is Authority

civilized is authority—quality need not worry
our sins of today—meaningless
then could you believe?
butcher the lamb to pretend
to write our deeds off by democracy
forging dates to appoint—you fiend
steal away to hotel rooms—but promise:
gold band gone—asking for forgiveness
but we couldn’t forgo such pleasure
absolution could hold no mercy, for
sinners we are, could never stop
hold true to our lies—found in your arms
crippled adolescence—fond of this puncture
