SCARS

SCARS

Crudely

Dissected,

A body

Dispersed

In allegoric

Confusion.

Illusion of intent,

Bound in bales of deceit.

Repeated act

Of global harmony

Extracts the tongue;

A serial conspiracy

To silence the voice

Of choice.

Product refinement?

Product alignment!

The consignment

Dispatched

By male order:

Discrete delivery

To the Frankenstiens

Of slavery.

Reluctant Sculpture ►

I don't normally like this style of lay-out but i do so connect with the content which makes a difference in my approach to it.
I'm glad i read it through to the end.
Nice analogies.
