No Where Man

The Prophet
spoke
decades ago

about being 
in a personal
place

where one
had
no feelings
opinions
or 
direction

Just a 
flat
piece
of matter
like
Norwegian Wood
Not really knowing
Just being Known

The fool 
 on 
the hill
sits
at the
capital
unable
to tweet
to a thousand 
voices

Censorship 
raises its'
Hand

sparking 
incitement
and 
insurrection

What is right
is wrong
and what is 
wrong
is right
torn from
the pages
of Madame Mao's
declaration to
the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution

In the end 

No Where
man
speaks
As 
a
Coward
To
His
Flock

Power
over shadows
Democracy
Leaving
An
Illusion
That 
Life liberty
And
The pursuit
Of
Happiness 
Is
Really
There
