On Achilles Heel

Mike Brennan

Tyranny appears to be
the turn-on driving
these leeches bleeding
vitalities off corpses
still left standing
posed in position
of gracious victim
for predators of a nature
not worth mentioning
because rarely does felony
actually reveal reasoning
& treason has simply
faded out of season

& when the deformed
demand hallowed reprisal
for justice from the
spiritually suicidal
the bankrupt brokers
pocket all the prayers
of change for the rainy daze
of the weak

Only to wake nearly extinct
like legions of lemmings
leaping over the edge
into a nothingness that spreads
from the heels of Achilles
to the bullet in the head.
