State of Emergencies and Other Life Curfews

A Trinidad State Siege
in a curfew of sense and science                                        
to maintain center as it falls away
to write truth in and out of emergencies
to discern facts from falsehoods in all states
to decipher cats and snakes before they both hiss and bite
to understand it is not for the lack of procedures but the absence of character
to lead outside a constitution
to wipe the president inconsequential
the CoP into brasoblivion
his standin a mimic of a former herald
to dissonance a memory
to dislocate a direction
to fragment a piece of a 2x4 nation
to rewrite the culture when their was none
and to that all without rights
but with valid ids and passport
to escape where
I think to make good work of prison
if they come for me
will they let me get dressed and take enough tampons
Will i have time to finish a law degree
to contest the extent of illegality
i will petition the kangaroo court
off their plantation
the finest silks and counsel from london and other nations
all toward reverse colonialization
the state of emergency is the absence of mind
to make a viral meme of the trivial
to  leave the national desecration
the international farce untouched
clowns on an open stage
as if in denial
all puppets stuffed with bagasse
sheep of cotton dressed in wool
the wolves in self cannibalism
no equator to equate the equalities of  shifting inequities
only rampant iniquity
never ending one after the other
just this time, I cant find the steps to climb back down
From current heights
Brainwaves at zero
