flight of the butterfly, rising free
ask the muse for help
ask angels to light the way
poems born when we pray
A Single Tear
A single tear is the dam
That holds back a mighty flowing river
Such suffering surrounds us today
Bert is evil
Remains little doubt
Childhood legend
Darkness throughout
But what of Ernie?
Is he evil, too?
Puppet of Bert
What shall we do?
Kill all the puppets!
Murder the dreams!
Bountiful evil...
Bursting the seams!
Accepting the truth
Darkness pervades
Goodbye, Bert and Ernie
Shed a tear, childhood fades
