Obsolete

These new modes and their modality
Fail to take into account the totality
Of the power of the locality
To impose their supreme morality
That hold onto with sheer brutality
A superiority they call neutrality
So power is kept in a centrality
And choice becomes formality

Only the chosen receive consent
Which must be given with intent
For the recipient to be content
To look not to their own ascent
But for the giver's sole extent
To grow as much as their advent
So that no one can prevent
Whoever the power will torment

That power, made incomplete
If not rooted in its seat
Needs support against defeat
And so he names himself elite
So he can justify retreat
Because his power is replete
With fragile strength, full of deceit
As with these new modalities – obsolete
