Bureaucratic Analogy

Simply categorising them egocentric, arrogant &

obviously self-referenced won't impress any new, 

or otherwise ambient, views of our politicians: so 

we see ‘em grafted on a bureaucratic analogy; & 

submitting it’s an honourable treelike living entity 

with ‘roots’ deep as unfettered imagination pales 

beyond the caul of ranked tenability; if we’re the 

cause of this beast’s invention - then RIP 

And we can say the same for the litany of blanks 

filling administrative space claimed to be by rigid 

public service selection planks; they are recycled 

specimens of retrogression even less likely to be 

sanely animate than gay top-of-tree ‘ballot’ boys 

whose arbiter-dispensed succession-plan ideals 

claim credibility only they can understand …
