i thought of a town



i thought of a town
where the homeless
are swept up

to make way for
tax-funded
royal weddings

only being allowed
to return to their
haunts once

the carriages and
bewildered horses
have paraded past

where their
flattened boxes and duvets
would undoubtably sully the day

what a town
what a nation
what a world

i thought of a chapel
where marauded wealth
is displayed

that time and inheritance
is supposed to have
absolved

where the lord’s favour
could not be more clearly
channeled by man

absorbed by pallid
smirking faces
and the stiffness of position

what a chapel
what a church
what a god
