Sempiternal

May 1, 2011; Ground Zero …

The sweet scent of death.

Celebrate the end of fear

at public hangings!

Nursery Rhymes …

… Yet, what lessons learned?

Ten years of nightmares, and still

we hide behind flags.

Black Horizons …

Where did the sun go?

Black smoke rises from straw men

who preach in the flames.

Cold Mathematics:

Every time a child is bombed …

… terrorists are born.

One thought on “Sempiternal”

  1. these are great, man. i think they address the events of the last week in a way that holds a lot of true, and in a way that most people are afraid to approach. I particularly like numbers 3 and 4; the third one for the imagery it instills, and the fourth one because of the cold, hard reality of that simple fact that is often forgotten. nice work.
