Freedom
Free the children
Yelled the
madman
As he crawled
Crablike
Up the face
Of the crevice
Children crying
Screaming
Through the acrid
Flames
Watching
Frozen
The men
And Women
Walking
Engulfed
By the vivid
Flames
And the children
Watched
And the sky
Was alive
With
light
As they turned
And fled
From the stench
As the sky
Opened
And clean
Clear
Rain
Bathed them
As they ran
Naked
To
The new World
|
Peasant
Cramped
Insufficiencies
Fall
From the ever eager
Ears
Of the peasants
The ten
years'
Growth
Of hair
Upon the chin
Gives way
To knowledge
Of Earth's deficiencies
They score the earth
With their tears
They
fall
And propagate
Earth's beauty
Their lives
The virtue of
man's
Need
for life
lives on. |
The Hare
It's undulating life-force
teeming
steaming
from within
It's warm
cold
fabric
broken
and spliced
dark
black
Through its own
eternity
slowly
it cries
eyes burning
with tears
that create
that destroy
the life-line
that is within
this failing
ailing
warm
cold
fabric
that once
did live
love
and
give
Why
must
this creature
animal
life
die
for
sport
Laugh. |
