And so the tears flowed
For the death of the children
Conceived in the throes of anger
Born into the arms of fear
Strangled by the claws of evil
Clad in garments of prickly good!!
And so the tears flowed
At the demise of honest thought
At the rape of the people’s intellect
The bastardization of love and piety
The ascendancy of slimy rot
Donning the robes of high order!!
And so the tears flowed
At the passing of the truthful bard
At the era of the village idiot
Turned saint
At the specter of the mean village crook
Turned champion defender of the poor!!
