crusty colonialism in an expanding babylonia

preventing an attack by attacking the people
time to dance a mysterious dance, in defense
citizens topple over like dominos
exhausted from asking
exhausted from disappointments
exhausted from voting, believing and then being let down
well done italy, the biggest human snake ever has been voted down and out.

Immigrants looking for something to do.
Tourists looking for something to do.
Stealing to eat, enslaving to feast.
