My right to buy is guaranteed
by all the land's great names
it is a thing that grants,
a modicum of fame.
Community is a joke
or even worse a sham -
this is a common situation
across our whole wide land.
Church, lodge or legion will attempt
to dent this stately wall
but the right to be foremost
is a right guaranteed to all.
Only in silence
scripture
music
can there be a thrall
release from some unnamed demand
to be king or queen of all.
