Laterna Magica
show images and form
a ritual dance
in front of their eyes
pitch of night
slashed by, magnesium flare
horror scenery
paralyze conscience mind
Hush, hush, hush
Says her finger's touch
ease, ease, ease
lips whisper soft
please, please, please
stay, do not leave
Armies march
to the battle ground
cannon's roar
cutting screams short
Eeny, meeny,
miny, moe
spare only a few
to return
Hush, hush, hush
Says her finger's touch
ease, ease, ease
lips whisper soft
please, please, please
stay, do not leave
Memory movies
trains of thought
root him out'a
shelter and cover
make him pay
if he holler
his crime
to survive
(
Hush, hush now
fingers linger
after she's gone
)

About this poem:
- the tricky part is that it was intended to match some piece of music, and ...well...
- welcome any comments, - posted it here ( had it in my blog ) as I started to wonder what anyone else would make of it.

I saw this blind man using a cane
probing and navigate his way
It looked so simple and easy
I kept it in mind for a rainy day
On my travels I heard people say
we have all the answers inside
God made sure you know the way
now I cannot stop my sob and cry
I have probed and pricked
sharp needles makes some darn
bloody mess and now I think
this is the final show down
help !
a band-aid ?
oh thanks
