“The noose descends
But men, not seeing,
Prattle about trivial things,
Fingers dripping with sin
And feet treading on the sanctity of life.
But the noose descends
And men have not a free hand to stop the rope,
For he is boxed in by a bear on one side
And a dragon on the other.
And the noose descends
And ever so silently the rope is tightened
And man fights for air
But it is too late.
And the dove flies away unseen
Finding no place on earth to rest.”
– S
