soft and lovely is this season
sacred the twilight falling
special the horror filling
the land
with a sense of morbid
fascination
lovely the child-
like quality
the beauty expressed by
every free moment
of spontaneous joy
stolen from within the corporate
prison
below the all-seeing policeman's Eye
(AND YOU, TOO
SURE
I KNOW YOU, TOO
UNDERSTAND
AND UNDERSTAND WHY
WE MUST LEARN TO TRY TO SPEAK AGAIN)
softly the sacred sound that
seeps
the child-like footsteps
thru the town
the blood besplattered city streets
the death bespattered human mind
the horror so fascinating
the morbid twilight of this our "time"
