In the dark times
Will there also be singing?
Yes, there will also be singing.
About the dark times.
BERTOLT BRECHT
The smart hide their claws
In their paws,
Then add fur for allure.
Combining smiles and wiles
And calling it “style.”
*
Dark and deep?
A dangerous creep.
*
A corporation is a person
And has certain rights.
A crow is a cow
And gives milk at night.
*
A sword may
Have a point,
But a needle
Is sharper
And cleaner.
Less mess;
Less evidence.
*
Does a man with a bow
Deserve a bow?
Only if he also has arrows.
*
Deep pools lure fools.
Shallows attract rascals.
*
Blood and tears
Grease history’s gears.
*
Minds are deeper
Than mines.
And twice as dark.
*
Those with towers favor power.
*
A good journey calls
For survive
As well as arrive.
Stay alert: sharks
Don’t bark;
Nor do bears share.
When demons
Appear, be aware,
But don’t stare.
*
Verifiable perils:
Who lives must lie.
Too many, and you die.
*
Remember: every fist
Began as an open hand.
Even a bridge is a ledge
If you stray to its edge.
*
All atrocities
Breed
Reciprocity:
Every murder
Leads to further.
*
Those who praise rage
Should be made
To visit more graves.
Skulls annul.
All knives should be dull.
*
None have done wrong
Who still have a tongue.
Even Cain can explain.
