Sad the day
The urchin rags on urban street boys
Mock the naked lovers
In the alleys where

Simple children try dwell in peace
------
I was a policeman once
------------------------
Little Mary is gone
Little Joey is lost
/////
And you?

SILENCE
HAS OVERWHELMED
YOUR
BENIGHTED
DESTINIES!
-----
In the brazen shadowlands
Of
Misery and grief

Everybody trying to invent
Some sort of god or lord

While something we cannot afford to lose
Is lost!

(OUR SOUL!
OUR HEART!)
...
I walk the fulness of
PROMISES made

I am not afraid

I know that soon you shall appear

As best you can you'll soon be here
