DEMOCRATIZE THE ART
Rhys Langston
DEMOCRATIZE THE ART:
Victuals, constituent slums
Arteries plugged with gum
Ill visuals dissident to ritual
Progress(o) soups
High blood pressure cooped
In cholesterol vacuums
Food desert proofs
Dilated analysis tombs
Vacant rooms
Scripture, Arizona elixir
EBT fiction
Shut down rhythms
Government subsistence
Stopped diction
(with slandered moratoriums)
Rang the bell for the nurse
Called to assist with rental fee
And hearse
Unto birth
Life kept curt
Kill, gore, circumference
Decimal worth in spurts
earth groped
Audacity of hope
Barrel hitched from the earth
And gather us around the hearth
Until it is what it’s worth
