So don’t cry
I love
And you love, hold, ere
That love, dear
A bastion ‘gainst hate
Earth, pray for them
No longer self aware
And no longer human
Spirit, whence flew
Accept it, g,
These people, now
Who are they
Sold on winds
Cheapened angel wings
A dollar
Jagged rock
Brought their humanity
Crashing hellward
Self awareness
Gone wither?
Which is to say
Where did humanity go
If that’s all we are?
Fascism
See? What you see?
That’s us, what is it?
World committee
Together, now gone
Thru the door
Humanity
Never saw it
Disappear
A swastika
But
We out here
Us
Hold up, bastion of
You and me, ere,
We still here/there
Your heart
Held, dear, ‘tween us
So don’t cry, g, hold up, your tears
For love
