THE SONG OF THE COCKROACH
Lady, oh Lady One-do i have a choice
Now the wind of forgetting
Blows me away into oblivion?
Can i speak, can i sing a song of beauty
In this theater anf hope to be heard?
The worm of decay crawls over the face
Which only yesterday was fresh in the light,
Smiling. letting go the traces of night-
And death shall have no dominion,
I shouted.But the hand digging for the word
Of creation found a wound of bloody entrails
And plucked darkness twisted into a turd
As big as the sky sparkling with maggots.
Please deliver me, Lady, of prattle and cand
As I bury one hundred years of war and want.
And wrapped in my red flag of glory and culture
I shall bend a knee to the one-eyed Vulture.
