CRIME & PUNISHMENT

 

They take our lives;

They murder us with cold blood sneers.

They take our lives;

Our flesh & bones their grizzly prize.

We must not let them fester here

To whisper hate for another year,

And take our lives.

SPENDTHRIFT

 

We ride the years

And give our taken breaths away.

We ride the years

To lift the setting sun's frontiers,

Content to find what loss we may,

To largely spend our little day;

We ride the years.

 

~ D. Edgar Lamp (Rondelet)
