Child Of Night (+3)

Kurt Philip Behm

The gray dawn baptized,

—a child of night

 

Salvation hostage,

—imprisoned light

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2017)

 

 

Inhumanity

 

Man's inhumanity to man,

knows no country, religion, or race

 

Man’s inhumanity to man,

the one shame that all time can’t erase

 

Man’s inhumanity to man,

as constant as the spring driven rain

 

Man’s inhumanity to man,

—rising over and over again

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2017)

 

 

 

That Horse

 

Every scepter, every throne,

reverts again anew

 

The god’s, their will divided,

—an Iliad of ‘truth’  

 

A war of good intentions,

paved avenue to hell

 

Honor shamed, by Zeus renamed,

—that horse where judgment dwells

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2017)

 

 

Change

 

To change the way you act,

—change the way you think

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2017)
