The soft gentle child

??

Becomes ............. (?)

(   --- WHAT EXACTLY ARE WE SAYING NOW ?  ----- )

That the soft and loving child

has become this limping homeless

Schizophrenic bag lady

Terrorized by poverty

And the police ???????

Symbol of humanity ?

WHO ??

IS IT SHE OR IS IT WE WHO ARE THE SYMBOLS

OF HUMANITY ?


///

Is it all just a LESSON IN BEING BROKEN

and that she and we will all learn from it
And that we will all  be HAPPY

In the end ?

((         So many !!

These unanswered questions !!

And so little time to answer them !!

And so many places in which

To hide from them !!   ))

••

The limping beggar children

WE

turn toward death

And stagger on

SOON WE SHALL CALL

DEATH

OUR ETERNAL  SACRED

HOME !!

( the limping child still is here )
