Diana Crescent official

This is nothing new,

slave,

serf,

vessel,

employee,

parishioner,

the terms have changed,

but the game has not,

we’ll take a piece of you,

again and again,

and you’ll worship us in the end,

and thank us for the trouble,

in taxes,

in blood,

in honor and glory,

we’ll stomp on your corpses,

from our houses high up on the hill,

or maybe down,

uptown the streets are quiet,

downtown they want to force a peaceful

protest into a riot

so they can say, “Oh, they shouldn’t have

been so angry and defiant.”
