Lies in Old Westminster

February 20, 2019February 21, 2019 antoniazen2 Comments

 

The fault lies in old Westminster;

more corroded cogs kaput

as tarnished chains sever

each link they constitute,

 

The fault, lies in

plain blinkered sight;

acrid smoke screens

our house alight,

 

The fault

a caldera;

lava churns our vaults;

The fault? Lies in old Westminster.
