This Butcher Low-Fallen

 His landing was hard 

they said, euphemistically 

in a place where words 

are made to hide truths,

not to reveal them,

and he was 

brought down

as his prized meats 

were still hanging--

because he was a butcher, caught

in the blades of history

sliced for others 

to dine on as he once

ate and ate and ate.

Who is served by this?

Who knows? Just

get ready with your plate.
