The Broken Opposition

All the best grievances
from the battered warriors
who long ago
lost the cultural war
have been submitted
and beaten to death
ad infinitum..

And yet they persist
with increasing futility...

Clock battlers of a reality
they no longer fit in to
as their former dominance
unjust as it was
slips into the abyss
of desperate combat politics...

Now reborn and refurbished
as martyrs of progress..

They play their frayed victim cards
in a last desperate gasp
to be relevant...

These sorry misfits of history
will turn on themselves eventually
and land in the crevices of a past
replete with hatred and prejudices
we would all like to forget
