the ONE MAN

the  One Man
has fallen

wannabe kings
strut the stage

{applause!  applause!}

drowning out
the weeping sound

of the 1000 children
in the streets

---

goddesses take off their wings

angelic sisters take off their gowns

lie in the gutter and await

jewels and blessings
and
wedding rings

--

the One Man has fallen

fertility has fled the field

---

goin back to the beginning

Yes!

that's what
we
shall do

and renew

the Sacred Vows

--

the One man appearing

once
again
