Sorry, this message did not post right. I'll tray again. Imagine a "hard
return" i.e a "line break" wherever "/" is indicated.
IN MEMORIAM/
There is no laughter in those critters/
No joy in their summer's day/
They crawled and we uttered not a word/
Often we cowered just to breathe another day/
Let it be written by all scribes that are known/
It has been resolved here and nowhere else/
The value of property is greater than the sanctity of life/
Musa is dead because he broke a windowpane/
For a mangled box Falieu was properly felled/
Poor Fatou lost her life because the police chief lost his hat/
There is no reprieve for Isaac from the Mountain/
Let his blood run the slopes and drape the innocence below/
We all sleep well tonight!/
Raze their swings and bury their toys/
Discard their Formulas and burn their shoes/
Dismantle and dismantle the children!/
Quarantine their mothers and crate-up their fathers/
Yahya reins, so does seven yards of cotton and rain/
Sleep well tonight everyone, sleep well the eternal sleep
****Long Spear****
