H.E. Mantel

ISLE OF LICENTIA

She stands tall
Rises, ‘bove all?
this Sphinx dancer
of France – 1789-1886,
La liberté éclairant le monde

Revolution?
Devolution!

Our owned Bastilles
sans Bas relief!
CarcelCorps, prive’
In your business
filling more than Cells with numbers

Revolution?
Devolution!

As We act
as Patriots –
Patrick, Nathan – Hale & Hearty,
Laurels & Hardly
Federalist Paines!

Liberties? Points to the Crown
razes ‘bove (All)
the Sphinx necromancer
Slinks!

from Devolution to Revelations!
Stands small, is all
Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité?
Like the Statue of Limitations!
