Silent Weapons For Quiet Wars

6-4-17

Descended from defendants,
the gods still fear us
but in ways we never
         thought possible:
         we're marketable.
Power writes checks and
if money doesn't flex
we're not afraid to take it back
         to the original internet:
         the hex.
You continue to conjure up myths;
we conjure our gifts
with not spells but fists
         full of solutions
         you're too scared to question.
Do you even know who we are
or how we traveled so far?
All that matters to you is
         that you screen us
         by smoke, authority, or penis.
There is nothing holding us back.
We had an app for that
before 16921
         and there was nothing you could do.
         Oh, you still try but you can't prosecute.

There are witch hunts going on all across the globe...
in boardrooms, churches, schools and homes.
We need a silent weapon to fight a quieter war.
To get what is deserved, we have to lean on subtle force.
