Yellow Belly
Where are the men of days gone by?
Doused in their toxic masculinity,
Upon the soapbox or hills high,
Stirring all in the vicinity.
Muzzled one, I long for thy smile
Infectious, if I remember well?
Innate encounters gone awhile,
Fear rooted with the deathly knell.
Come one, come all, your knee must bend
Your compliance we desire,
Inoculations, a means to an end?
How many will one require?
