The Ovillejo

~A sample of what you’ll find at my new blog, Astra Poetica~

Confess, Step Down, Atone [an Original Ovillejo]

What do we say when men oppress?
Confess!
To those who drink as others drown?
Step down!
And after we destroy the throne?
Atone! 

To prove your soul’s not made of stone,
There’s nothing that you need to do
But lift your polished, deadly shoe,
Confess, step down, and atone.
