Curse the tailors
For theirs are the blindfolds and the mask of truth
Curse the steelworkers
For theirs are the bullets and barbwire
Curse the auto manufacturers
For theirs is lung disease and the coughing sky
Curse the judges
For theirs are the gallows and sentences of death
Curse the lumberjacks
For theirs are the thinning forests and the loss of habitat
Curse the mathematicians
For theirs are the trajectories of missiles and the algorithm of censorship
Curse the architects
For theirs are the prisons and the abattoirs
Curse the builders
For theirs are the roads and the concrete laid across beauty
Curse the politicians
For theirs is the homelessness of empathy and tartuffery
Curse the lawyers
For theirs is the profit of vulnerability and the hiss of hot air
Curse the physicists
For theirs are the splitting of the nucleus and the loss of innocence
Curse the butchers
For theirs are the needless murders and the dimming of light
Curse the oil drillers
For theirs is the dreams of seagulls mired in sludge
Curse the bomb makers
For theirs is the hatred of life and the perpetuity of war
Bless the children
For theirs is a struggle for hope despite these men at work
The Tigress Awakens 
Curse the teachers for their
social engineering complicity
(and for not teaching me such
a superb word as tartuffery 😎)

What a brilliant, well-written, hard-hitting piece. Powerful denunciations with a scriptural feel and a much-needed blessing of hope at the end.
p.s. “the hiss of hot air” Love it.
