(Originally published April, 2014. – Owen)

Nightmare crawling
City sprawling
Fires rage
While baby’s bawling

Forearm choking
Engines smoking
Each new page
Old vile invoking

Pedants hector
Every sector
Drink the bane
Of poison nectar

Shape your thinking
Fetid, stinking
Inhumane
All prospect sinking

I’ve outgrown you
Now I’ve shown you
You met me
And now
I own you
