Starlink Serfage

We can constellate the founding fathers  
much like the Greeks did with their dying gods  
and pulverize their Mount Rushmore facades  
into some rubble that no more bothers  
the vespering spirits of yesteryear...  
now replaced by apocalypse horsemen  
grinding axes like a million Norsemen  
extoling a scornful billionaire's sneer.  
 
Sing no more of those noble intentions  
that now are just as Polybius...dead...  
and as badly drained as Cicero's head,  
or Edison's corpse of new inventions  
when monopolies know and see us all  
as mere data points...in abject thrall. 🤖
