The Edifice

So here now
lost
bound

to a single
thing

The I
no longer sacred
breaths

Axios
in virtue
inviticus!

Across the divide
ideologues teeter
on the edge of reason
loose

Consensus vacates
the zealots
and a new religion dawned
burdened
anew

Expel dissent
exhale, exhale
as now existence
is guilt

The mask won’t fit
the edifice
where
now
freedom
is a choice
