The Piece of Work

 There he shrugged 

boasting of his mission

while a great task lay before

the staring eyes of the world. 

Plucked from his river

bed soft as a baby otter

he sees the injustice of the world

and having taken his place

in the house of Pharoah

his mind too narrow

to do more than snap,

he isn't going to do crap

to remind of us of

his imagined avatar

but to be sitting in a stalled car

overseeing an exodus.
