Tell me creature what you be, To bear your kind in misery, that knows their need yet pas them by, who holds their salve; yet bids them die..? Tell me! Tell me creature what you hear, when your own kin cries out in fear, what lyrics sing in final breath, what deaf concerto heralds death..? Tell me! Tell me creature what you feel, when war your issues’ childhoods steal, as ‘prenticed to the gun they join, and blood and slaughter ‘come their coin..? Tell me! Tell me creature what you see, when infants live in poverty, as cardboard boxes’ cold sojourn, to cardboard coffins quickly turn..? Tell me! Tell me creature what you smell, when plague rid flesh your nostrils swell, as child on mother’s corpse cremate, to feed fresh rabid flames of hate..? Tell me! Tell me creature what you taste, when with your home cooked feast you’re faced, what favour plague; what sweetness feign, or savour thirst, starvation, pain..? Tell me! Tell me creature what be I, that sees but hurries, idly, by, who swear that we share not our name, so begs avoid full share of blame..? Tell me -’Brother’ - Tell me! www.sullivanthepoet.com |
