JONATHAN SWIFT'S PROPOSAL

Satire a great weapon
for Gulliver's disappearance
in a locked up
in prison mire
a chance for an Englishman
to inspire a new horizon
where not to retire,
the Irish read of your travels
as rebels are being put down
by the judges gavels
life ropes in her victims
on trial by the government
with a disposal wish
of regulation
to transfer or lower
the population
of the Irish nation
for the Crown's arraignment
in a parliament's proposal
of  a Malthusian containment,
as hungry Lemuel wanders
back to his own jetty
the Emerald Isle
wants to be set free
from its troubles.
