if you do not fit
within
the circle
of her world
the straight
jacket
of
her control ~
her intolerance
for those
who don’t mold
or bend
to her oligarchy
are sacrificed
on the alter
with the weapon
called silence
even if
it was someone
who cared
deeply
about her
the shunning
so lethal
it is
as if
the denounced
and reprimanded
were cast
into the bowels
of hell
until they cried
from the stench
of their
burned flesh
to finally
be spared
through death
by God
peace out
