Living downstream
  The freedom loving 
Mercurial mind owners
  Are discharging wasted
Spent liberty 

The dying fish 
  Royal on our utopian republic
   Gasping and retching 
the awful smell of 
  exploding intestinal wails

Tyranny is the not the only means 
   to stop this ridiculous evil
   The sighs of protest waived “HI”

We were always free to suffer
   to languish in despair 
Breath deep
   Cough with abandon 
Phlegm costs you nothing 

Windmills are killing birds 
  Insight of all the golf courses 
 The green fees are exorbitant 
Freedom is not free

Even a Molotov cocktail 
  has a price 

Adolescent mindset
 craving unchecked 
     independence 
resistant to constraint

Utopian putting green
  Fouled with upstream 
Archimedean spew-age 
  Breaking the back
of the feral scum
   The “resistance”

“Nature abhors a vacuum” 
  Heard clear as day
(We will) over comms
 in the space suit 
  with 20 minutes of Oh (me) too 
High above this moon of Jupiter 

Free at last

Tardigrades are tiny eight-legged creatures, usually under 1mm long, that can survive extreme heat, cold, radiation – and even the vacuum of space.
