leviathan

this isn’t here
to be here
to be seen or to be heard

this isn’t here
to be here
to be screened by higher powers
higher educated powers
higher philanthropists

this is here
to be here
to be felt as something of worth
and specialness and tight bond to
humanity.

this is here
to be here
to be my reflection of that good
that innate good that lies beneath
the leviathan of this society’s ills.
