He has lit fires in our midst
fed the blaze on the tinder
of our hidden fears
and inadequacies:
a veritable inferno
consuming pride,
hopes, accomplishments
And, without a doubt,
when all is barren,
he will watch with satisfaction.
He will build his tin palaces
on that wasteland
and will proclaim these travesties
(lacking better words)
tremendous,
awesome,
and very, very
beautiful.
