Devil in a New Dress

March 5, 2015
By Anonymous

We’re born with the innocence of Roosevelt’s bears
And seen as elegant as a dancer in ballet
And taught to strive for the crown and sword
And dream of living in paradise with our own angel

 

Our mouths are open
Fangs flaring
Lungs howling
Lips dripping

 

But bears become rabid
And dancers diseased
And angels plunge

 

And the crown falls with a sword to the head
