Domino Times

No, the Chinese never cursed anyone with “interesting times”
it was the West that feared change
the rivulets of fate
making kings of fools
and fools of kings

We live in domino times
where all you need is a little push
to collapse empires
even if they don’t notice they’re falling

When circumstance makes the world a canvas
everyone is an artist
grab a brush
a pen
charcoal made from the vines of long-juiced grapes
anything to make your mark

They will learn to never forget
that when you take everything away from people
the last thing to go is hope

When the scale of Themis is denied
the smile of Eris fills the void
