most of them

most of them are only base servants,
in them dwells much of beast,
eyes and fists devoid of reason.
The world teems with nameless judges,
reckless and selfrighteous with
nooses and stones at the ready.
Time should stop motionless at midnight
and then proceed to rain for an entire year,
perhaps that would cleanse us all
when we awake to hurting-needle-fresh air
upon things resuming their normal course
the next morning.
