lock ‘em up!

lock ‘em up!

high dudgeon in a deep dungeon 
whence all-of-a-sudden 
the cullis is pouring solace 
into the mouths of a populace 
of gargoyles 
guarding
the memorial gardens
memories now laid to rest
in the mausoleums of follies 
found deep in the grounds of
mansions that laud it over
the peasant’s penury
a paupers grave
perpetually in
flagrante delicto 
in chains
