The Opera of Infantry

Ghosts..

lyrical hosts

floating 

in a
chaotic coast
most 
of them in need

bleeding breath
from death
dying of hunger
 
a starvation 
even god can't feed..


Satan starts 
to seem 
appealing
through healing
while
stealing

their tongues...

But I can 
still hear them 
humming

looney lullabies
and

soft cries
in notes 
of paramount
pleasure



A courts gesture

"immeasurable beats"

as we all 
take a seat
and listen

The chior begins

and

their

sins

sound

magnificant....

 


I call it
.
