[ NaPo 2021 ] [ OPAR ] Mouthpiece

 
Treating  
anyone deemed worthy  
of being dealt with  
[in]directly, utilizing  
threats as empty  
as their loud speaker  
 
a hollow man  
whose name is forgotten  
even by himself  
 
Vacuous shape serving  
as nothing more than proxy  
through which demands  
are projected through  
to the target audience  
 
Heartless  
---only iron lungs  
remain, kept alive  
by a sycophant's  
sorcery
