DOWN THE LINE

DOWN THE LINE

you two
who bred

tended
to

were two and eight
years respectively
when Fuhrer
fellow
first came to power

something in that Zeitgeist
pairing with you

saw
felt enough of it
throughout my childhood

every year
towards adulthood
that little
bit worse

wanting Biblical respect
demanding
regard for
that toxicity

and now we see
a few generations
down the line

how beautifuly it has grown
so well-shaped
and tended

long boisterous
soon bloody
burgeoning of those bundles
torches,
traitors and
putsch
