Safety…
Is ours’ a fatal dream.
True one for excuses
Bound with shame,
Consumed with rage
But trembling in the stream…
Once a whisper
Now a clarion call.
Before the ripping of the seam,
Before the fall of Babylon,
But trembling in the stream…
Before the fall of kings,
Before the torrent
Bowed the queen–
Enter darkness,
Enter tanks.
Tremors…
After shocks…
Terror waits.
