Notes About The Poem

and I after fact
and I think about all this

Confused and battled;
Nothing is left
Nothing to do best---
Hold my head up and receive the laughter;
For you see all's well in the Jackal and Hyena cage???

After Fact

Grieving tongues of misguided teeth;
Sucking virtues holding its peace;
Lighted candles on the ground;
Love lost people hurting on;

and I after fact
and I think about all this

Rupture subdued causal;
Holographic montage of holy statues;
Pangs of a mother's child;
Grounded hunters hunting wild;

and I after fact
and I think about all this

Sticks and stones;
Breaking tender bones;
Whole families incarcerated  together yet alone;
Long distances survivalist;
Natural conversationalist;

and I after fact
and I think about all this

Confused and battled;
Nothing is left
Nothing to do best---
Hold my head up and receive the laughter;
For you see all's well in the Jackal and Hyena cage?
