From the book SECOND ADVENT OF ZEUS
Slavery
Trendily dressed heard of animals
the foreigners came with bells
hanging from their necks
as if they knew the meaning of nature
and with undebatable posture
they demanded servitude and
replacing our books with guides
and instructions for multitude of gadgets
they convinced my kin to purchase.
The red carpet was laid for
their wooden shoes
servility was demanded
direct payment expected.
The foreigners drank my wine
from the ancestral lecythus
as if it was within their rights
though the moon never stayed by their side
and the sun didn’t obey to their commands
