In Sodom There Is Corruption

In Sodom there is corruption.
The people fear words 
Like it were their very life threatened.
It is unnatural;
It is bestial, that city Sodom.
Silence the poets
For words are akin to murder.
Therefore the Great Ape
Can reign supreme.
There can be no peace in Sodom.
There can be no love in Sodom.
For the Princes take bribes
The people are vexed all the day long;
Selfish, cursing one another
As their streams of water.
Yet, a wise poet dismissed it
To care for the earth.
Yet, can we even have our gardens
In the land of Sodom?
Can we even read or publish our books?
I must be a wall;---
That way brimstone does not fall
From Sodomoite Torches.
