Love Poem: Dead of the Corn

Dead of the Corn

Said through clenched pallet cleft

Straight right out of left field 

Came the wind a calling for a
sacrificial sacrifice

To appease the dog god's of war
straining and bitting to be unleashed

Upon the fallen led astray and breached

From some or other unknown entity
but quite obviously sent from high
on up

If for no other reason than to make
the numbers of today's death count up 

Why on earth I do not know that wasn't
part of the deal

The deal was simply this if you don't
or are not prepared to choose amongst
and between yourselves

Then we will simply have to go ahead
and do it for you as you see we currently
are

For if you build it we will come and the
price for coming is

Dying dead then death not everlasting
breath
