Beneath Us
(Mass Kapital)
Why consider the poor,
noxious maggots infecting
our city streets;
ugly, depressing.
Let them rot, or, better
use as targets for our sport
and ire.
Let them starve, for our
entertainment, or,
better, strike out violently
against their own, competition
for whatever they scrape
together.
A few may amuse, be
risen as pets — thus we exhibit
benevolence.
Or fate may provide
conditions to allow bombardment.
Irradicate, that we reclaim to
invest in those places they
infest.
