A Serenade for the Innocent

Once a monolithic

-------dome housed countless a flock

-------of youths gathering forth

-------

To rid themselves of this

-------pest only her alone

-------(great mother) can relieve

-------

Seeking wondrous a cure

-------so their youth eternal

-------for angels to adore

-------

Today

-------the seraph weeps

--------------------------once more

-------

Thus they clog their bodies

-------inside this damp chamber

-------as instructed by her

-------

For her words are law

-------and this audience her sheep

-------lest they seek not the cure

-------

And when great mother says

-------the cure is upon them

-------their voices rejoices

-------

Today

-------the seraph weeps

--------------------------once more

-------

But these all young men are

-------ignorant of what lies

-------ahead for great mother

-------

Is not a hallowed saint

-------and delivers no gifts

-------from phantoms on the sky

-------

Nor's the cure a vial

-------from the fountain of youth

-------and philosopher's stone

-------

Today

-------the seraph weeps

---------------------------once more

-------

These all splendid young men

-------foolish, naïve, and rich

-------expects the cure costs gold

-------

For their parents away

-------while their money astray

-------so to demons they pay

-------

But the cure requires not

-------jewels or treasures but

-------a sip of the spirit

Today

-------the seraph weeps

--------------------------once more

-------

And so great mother yells

-------open fire in front

-------of these confused young men

-------

Seconds passed, bullets rain

-------piercing their velvet skin

-------ceaseless till they perish

-------

Armed men envelopes them

-------baptizing the concrete

-------with blood and gunpowder

-------

Today

-------the seraph weeps

--------------------------once more

-------

Behold the great mother

-------laughing hysterically

-------with red wine on her hands

-------

Behold the armed Reapers

-------none older than sixteen

-------with weapons on their hands

-------

Behold them pathetic

-------young men seeking the cure

-------their life gone from their hands

-------

Today

-------the seraph weeps

--------------------------once more

-------

The sound of bullets fills

-------this bloodied dome again

-------armed youths gunning their brains
