Hard thing about poetry is understanding the point of view, the corrupt priesthoods is so removed from most peoples lives they would never assume the connection.

Thats why poetry is sus as fuck because some literal nigger or woman will decide to interpret it as the bourgeoisie or some other boogieman and further send societal order structures onto the executioner's block.
