Historian
a puny broker
in the currency of human drama,
a nook-bound sage,
elucubrated a tome
on ignorance and avarice;
on war, the penchants of power,
and the human brain.
the distilled, learned pith
was that every treatise
and prolegomenon,
every work of art
and mise en scène
rode on the back
of the political and the cruel.
society itself, somehow,
in a devil of a circus trick,
balanced on the tip of a missile,
nudged by factors of hate and hunger,
and a few dice rolls.
