Seems it like
Around the earth
A cruel
And iron fist
Now fallen?
Sense we not
Its closing grasp?
Pressure.
Silent.
Unseen.
Ever-growing.
We rest,
Do nothing.
Vaguely aware
Of something but of what?
The fingers move
In tightening.
Thus is the essence of man
Squeezed from his collective body?
Yes?
Sorry God -
Here,
YOUR breakfast juice!
