Gilgamesh

Since men were slain by Gilgamesh,

we've toiled in fields at his behest;

the Big Man, insecure on his nest.


We are the serially abused,

generations woefully misused;

by hoe, by sword, malnourished, confused


into deifying this beast, this tyrant,

obeying his petulant wants;

meek in the shadow of the absconce.
