« a town always within a town | Main | a happiness there was »

go on go on

move back move back

fool the young
with history feed pablum
prune them minds
retrain their lust
make machinery
channel blood into streams
seduce then command all seed
coerce force create abundance

use up all of life not yet deprived
for a past
its echo rising nightly
its daily fury yet to come

new youth
gets a no-free-choice piper
language does not know
it shuns youth in the name of culture

a piper dreams of yesterday
that will come tomorrow
