Reposez en Paix

The Whites
are a minority now,
their old houses
painted brown
with new accents.

They have
little land left
to till,
the rest sold off.
The Pigs are now
as old as the Dogs,
their teeth as soft
as their fattened livers.

No one Skins animals
around here anymore.
The furs are few
and faux between.

Their Pusher is gone;
Pizzas now, pills non
on the old corner.

Joseph,
their stoned idol
buried again.
Pointless resurrection.

Adieu overdue.
Reposez en Paix.
