Analysis of Psychopathic Piper
Death is in the air
as musical sighs
gather children's souls;
wide and innocent.
Multicoloured cloth
hangs heavy with notes,
catastrophic anguish,
the rats dance now.
Stained glass windows
colour stories of old,
psychopathic piper,
magical musician,
there’s a song
in Hamelin’s heart.
