The Hand The Lotus And The Broom

The Hand The Lotus And The Broom, a photo by firoze shakir photographerno1 on Flickr.

trying to carve
a niche in a
crowded room
skeletons in
a cupboard
one wants to
exhume
in a pond of
corruption
a flower
wants to
bloom
all three
wanting
the fruits
of the loom
watched
avidly
by paid media
in the newsroom
a parliament of fools
pepper spray knives
voices raised volume
the nation shudders
the void vacuum
the emperor in his
old clothes wants
a change of costume
lady blindfolded stoic
in the courtroom
deleted doomed
darkness gloom
vote for whom
