don't look down

don’t look down—

poor people who work for little—

and expect little more—

don’t look down—

refuge bees like you and—and—and   

shrinking away to god knows where—

don’t look down—

look up at the skyline—

glossed hegemonies timeline—

don’t  look down—

the beginning of a which hunt—

all the things you knew—

taken away from you—and

don’t look down—

piety and talk of sacrifice—

--  the latest trend

of the many lessons learned

don’t look down

resist the feeling of déjà vu

because it never happened to you

don’t look down

don’t expect remorse

but silence please
