Ezra caged
was evil captured,
although he growled in Harvard Latin.
No celebration is required
when racist heroes run out
of Jews to devour.
__________That was
the heart of his raging poetry,
a hate that sprouted weeds
he mislabeled flowers.
__________But
traitorous seedlings stink
and spread infection in words
designed as wisdom. He lied.
His words were new as bullets.
Ezra, you're dead
as your philosophy.
__________Sadly,
you're not the first beast
or the last.
