Hard Fought


And the world will lie quiet

And the tunnels dug by animals

Will fill with red dirt and bone

The executioners confection drips

From between the guillotine’s board floor

Upon rats, upon children

The stumbling bustling helpless crowd

Has vanished today taking war

Along into time’s earthen chest of dust and secrets

No human will live no fight pursue

Peace arrives upon warrior

Senator, executioner’s ax and plow

Silence is the rule

Find peace in being or peace

Will not long permit you to be
