ignominy

Dicky Sings

Dearest innocent ones!
Lives ended by the brutality of religion?
Buried in the churchyard of democracy?
Society's weaknesses and failures
etched on your non-existent tombstones.
Hate and animosity should be natives to no one's soul
Life's flame of justice will always burn in your honor.
Ah! The complexity of life
Anger, pain, envy,
greed...
Ah! The simplicity of life
Love...love...love...

About this poem
