A Regent's Tale

July 3, 2022

Those hidden lies

breed louder cries,

deception setting in

What’s birthed in darkness

kills in light,

exposing deeper sins

The poison fostered

regent’s tale,

its message civic spun

For us to swallow

not to chew,

inscripted zero-sum

(The New Room: July, 2022)
