After they banned love songs
and beards, they banned the word
love and made forehead markings
compulsory – wear a printed label
if need be – we need to know your
origin story, they said, terrorising
people who used the word peace
and putting behind bars anyone
who spoke out against wars
And so, when the sun and moon
shone in the same sky one day
they banned them both and this
finally, is how the world ended.
