It's a Dark Night In Georgia
IT IS A DARK NIGHT IN GEORGIA PASS
WAR MACHINES BOMB WHAT WAS ONCE A BLADE OF NEW-BLOOM GRASS
SUCH LITTLE THINGS NO LONGER MATTER MUCH TO SOME
A CHILD WITH A GRENADE CAN NO LONGER MAKE ME NUMB
ALL THE POUNDING AND GUN POWDER ARE VISIBLE IN THE DAY LIGHT
JUST A LONELY AMERICAN REPORTING WHAT IS AND MAY
MY EYES PEER THROUGH AN EMPTY ZOO,DEAD ALL AROUND
THE JESTERS MAKE A MOST JOYISH SOUND AS THE CATTLE AMIDST DECAY
EVERY GENE THAT WAS FIRST BORN IS NO MORE THAN A LONE WILTED THORN
LIKE THE TITLE AND FIRST LINE OF MY POEM IS:
A DARK NIGHT IN GEORGIA THROUGH
