Who Gave the Order
Who gave the order?
What hellish scene (pre-packaged for a mime)
watched my startled eyes?
An old man or a young demon
postures in a pother of lies,
a high priest of low ideas.
I ponder, I shake a thousand
chin-wagging times.
I must know
what killer-clown gave the order
for us to obey and nod,
and did they expect instead
this endless laughter and derision
not the devilish division
they had so long planed for?
