How Ancient Chinese tactical executions
obviously warped within its moral compass
weaved a tapestry of innocence hunted down
Argues the ethics of the art world and the law
now we understand secret organizations
collaborate cells without a leader in charge
in fact, each cell knows its mission is suicide
effectively made to present the imbalance
no morality could accept consequences
that by intention take the lives of innocents
China now condemns such practices in their name
honor is at stake and anarchy is outlawed
in America, cells have killed friends of judges
not even close friends, but childhood friends all grown up
even VPO are uncertain how it works
simply influence the course of future events
even if persons directly involved still live
terror a tactic, political persuasion
as judges don't know what cases such acts apply
creates confusion, people die all around them
terrible indeed to imagine not fiction
if Bazhgim incites revolution in his verse
could he then be tried a traitor for poetry
as he wakes in bed to ZVED surrounding the man
lessons to be learned, Auden makes events happen
even a poet in a republic has rights
xenophobia warns against these immigrants
execute their rhymes before audiences read
critically each verse containing subversive texts
under the same law, judges must protect Bazhgim
the First Amendment demands free speech in fiction
in solitary, Bazhgim rots within darkness
of course, no one cares, he is a traitor to God
no one understood how politics took the law
seriously but these guānxi just disappeared
