Thine heart divine, thine wine with me imbibe,

[a poem about remembreing nine eleven]

I was in French class (second year) as a
junior maybe learning the I-R verbs,
and that was when we were told to turn on
the TV. Strangely (or not) how the French
were thusly stigmatatised: passed on war
knowing how this Algerie would have gone.

Still, I am ignorant of how the Serbs
and/or Croatians got in their Muslim
conflict in the previous decade; or
at least knowing “cleansing” indicates slim
knowledge be the sliding criteria.

Wake up you sleepy head
Put on some clothes, shake up your bed
Put another log on the fire for me
I've made some breakfast and coffee
I look out my window and what do I see
A crack in the sky and a hand reaching down to me
All the nightmares came today
And it looks as though they're here to stay

What are we coming to
No room for me, no fun for you
I think about a world to come
Where the books were found by the Golden ones
Written in pain, written in awe
By a puzzled man who questioned
What we were here for
All the strangers came today
And it looks as though they're here to stay

Oh You Pretty Things
Don't you know you're driving your
Mamas and Papas insane
Oh You Pretty Things
Don't you know you're driving your

Let me make it plain
You gotta make way for the Homo Superior

Look out at your children
See their faces in golden rays
Don't kid yourself they belong to you
They're the start of a coming race
The earth is a bitch
We've finished our news
Homo Sapiens have outgrown their use
All the strangers came today
And it looks as though they're here to stay

Oh You Pretty Things
Don't you know you're driving your
Mamas and Papas insane
Oh You Pretty Things
Don't you know you're driving your
