A Faraday Cage of the Mind
The dwarfs are for the dwarfs
-C. S. Lewis, The Last Battle
They wire themselves into
a Faraday cage
As they make ossification
great again
Raising their hands not in
salutes but in fists
Their voices not in hymns
but in foul hate
They wire themselves into
a Faraday cage
Hug to themselves a past
that never was
And circulate deception
among themselves
In closed incestuous loops
of rumors and chants
They wire themselves into
a Faraday cage
So that a genuine thought
will never penetrate
