                          Tumbrils Rattling Ideas to Their Deaths


“Tradition is not the worship of ashes, but the preservation of fire.”

                              -attributed to Gustav Mahler
   (But no one sources the quote so maybe it’s from someone else)


That which is good is now tumbriled through the streets
The carter following the map upon his MePhone
Or rather the map upon their MePhone
Now that one man must not, dare not be he

That which is true is stood upon the gallows
It may tweet aloud for a moment or two
But weighted down with the burdens of trends
It must immediately be ****** up short

That which is beautiful is burnt as fuel -
All sacrificed to Moloch, loving and cruel
