RKS Poetry Anthology (All We Get Are The Coffee Grinds): “Downtown Treblinka”

Downtown Treblinka

Hemmed into hamlets by awesome tower guard posts

The weary and beaten stagger into marbled Calcuttian black holes

To be transported up the gleaming shafts to prosperous futility

Only marred by the unhappily assimilated

Stomped over through the lack of humanity

Lined up against the wall of self enforced humility

Or

Cutthroat bestiality

Experimented on by cleaver human resources wizards

Soothed by the taxed juices and coloured flashes

That numb

Bringing “round the clock relief”

To voluntary prisoners

And the arthritic strickened
