Dynasties and Ducks

Devoid of intellect and over-rated,
this topic breaks the barriers of sound—
an insubstantial episode created
to bring both left and right wings to the ground.

While here, aspiring emperors and kings
react with paranoia and in flux,
I watch with dim detachment from the wings—
cut off from culture’s dynasties and ducks.
