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
