Poets in Mordor
by ayaz daryl nielsen
About your subversive
poetic counter-narrative
to the collective obsession
and bull-incompetence
of current opinion,
you’ve come this far-
you can’t turn away.
Your words are afire,
upsetting their money carts
and curdling their pablum.
Don’t resist a needed
malcontent as reliable
edginess and keen insights
reveal hidden truths within
these troll-dark times.
