What do we praise?
A man bashing his body against
another man's body
and if bones are broken
we first cheer?
Or a man who pretends for years
to be many others?
Or the CEOs who abuse, oppress,
and profit, whose children are chaff and fodder
and hindrances?
The idleness of idols
do not move us
or perhaps move us towards
self-destruction.
