unpurged images recede

[fledgist]

 so much has passed and yet we must return

to places where we find we have no part

and make believe we've reached a better start

so much to do and still we have to yearn

for all those changes that we did not earn

created we might think by complex art

to take their places inside mortal heart

our task to build what others have to burn

the full report is what we cannot stand

of hells unleashed upon the very poor

who could but blame an unrelenting fate

while many voices join in chorus bland

explaining why they have to shut the door

on those who don't belong to their good state
