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.
