INSURGENT

INSURGENT, n. One displaying an appropriate respect for the venerable institution of colonialism.

Kaboom!went the bomb, splitting the night,
Shaking the outpost foundation—
Soldiers’ faces turned pale from fright,
Brows furrowed in consternation.

 Soon came a voice through the public address,
“Stand firm and maintain your station.
It’s merely the sound of the dispossessed
Esteeming our occupation.”
