sharp and painful like an infection
with you below looking up
from a hole in hell.<\/p>\n
after all the admonitions
but then there’s no telling what people
may do and be done by<\/p>\n
it is not too late. I know I said
I would never leave this place
but I failed to see the future.<\/p>\n
This could be a first day
instead of the last no burning no
ash to swallow.<\/p>\n
before the rafters fall in.
Talk to me differently.
It is not reason<\/p>\n
I am doing these things
like a killer as if I live
outside myself and my beliefs<\/p>\n
People learn to use guns
and we reply because we have to.
That’s history. Crucifixions<\/p>\n
coming on although it is still warm.
In the streets are banners
and megaphones sounding<\/p>\n
marching, democracy, discussion,
disagreement. Let me help you up.
It’s not too late.<\/p>\n
