there are cities
underground
where dark creatures swim
holding a fake rose in each hand,
mouthing a hateful grin.
and their banners waving overhead,
flapping proudly in the wind,
are enough to catch the crooked eyes
of the frightened dead and their lies.
it is not sufficient to smell the street
and to hear the noise,
to be alarmed of their plans
and their dangerous toys;
it is not enough to feel the heat
and the rushing air,
to taste the scent of harvested hate
on busy corners every where.
those dark creatures might wait for me
as i take another lyric step,
but i am not among them.
