TRUTH AMONG TALONS


It is now Suicidal

The truth to tell

The creed to sing

Among applauded liars.

 

Those with the bell

The cat’s neck to bell

Are themselves favoured rats,

An allied force with the fat cats.

 

Before the door, they knock,

Behind the door, they respond

With an ear-blocking voice,

Who is there?

 

Who rescues the truth?

From the blood-thirsty talons?

No doubt the fingers that bears the talons,

The jailers of truth.

 

Oh truth, have you life in you still?

Your flesh so mangled and pierced,

Your blood guzzled to dryness

By joyless, unbridled bees.

 

But another truth is true, oh truth,

And this I know;

When the talons grow old,

When feeble they become,

Your freedom shall be
And your nature stark naked emerge.
