Soi-Disant Quasimodo

The Humane thing to do What?
Germane to hideous creation of the devil
A crushing sound under the foundling wheel
Indeed a low bloody Sunday
Their self-styed miscarriage of justice
Refining pagan witchcraft with a changeling of names
Does not negate the fact that little hands
and feet are pierced by a voice not their own
Falling upon your own sword only seems noble
because you have lost the war
Just as Frankenstein’s monster
drowns a little flower
the milk-brothers are pouring muddy water
thick upon the ground Rachel weeps
All the while you know they would have said somethiing
and do but your fruit is doom, if there is no repentance
Helen Keller should have taught you something
"I always knew He was there, but I didn't know His name!"
