Poetry

No Notice Taken

And their holy books sit on their desk;

their talisman around their necks,

bosses and workers alike.

 

 Load another missile into the tube

tested and, ready

enough, to fry all

and turn the day sky dark and cold.

 

Sheep, as they are called

to the holy abattoir willingly.

                                       The sacred books on their desks sit.
