Jack Boy

 Jack Boy, valiant and courageous, they said

Immaculately towing the line

talking the talk and walking the walk

Jack Boy who fought for the horror we live in and we will die in.

The feminicide, and patricide,

the horror of the mob

who bay for blood every eve, 

the knowledge of permanent hostility of the backward and irate

destined to engulf all in its deathly grasp

Jack who stood tall and brave

on the backs of children ravaged by Beriberi, Kwashiorkor and Marasmus

children staked by vultures waiting to gouge out their little yes

All is fair in war ...they said, impeccably 

Jack Boy, articulately watching hordes perishing under you 

Now you thrive in silence, the silence of the fool

the silence of the quilt

It's another bloody day in the land of your birth

I await you cry in agony in the dawn of the massacre

but you remain stoic as you lick the fruits of your judgment
