Literature Text

A solitary thought in silence deep;
We struggle to express the truth.
So often (in private) counsels keep,
And our tongues become uncouth.
Candid discussion is rare among the masses,
We're caught betwixt the differing classes.
   Candid discussion is rare,
   Candid discussion is rare,
Mere innocence cannot forestall the morass.

Headlines incite us to hate each other,
Without receiving full disclosure.
Too lost in our lives to notice "big brother";
Fifty years since JFK: still no closure?
We the People acting as judge, jury and spectator,
Uncle Sam is a nullified testator.
  We the People acting,
  We the People acting,
Is no one America's consecrator?

Chamberlain's desire for peace,
Merely invited the devil to sup.
With appalling ease,
We'll drink the same cup.
That dragon will reign as writ of old,
Yet his fate has been foretold.
   That dragon will reign,
   That dragon will reign...
For a 'bowl of soup' many souls have been sold.

Subtitled: To Press The Path Of Madness

From the DFC pdf for Dec. 5th:

    The Trijan Refrain was created by Jan Turner and features three nonets (9- line stanzas). It encompasses rhyme, meter and refrains and the structure is as follows: a,b,a,b,C,c,D,D,c where D is the first 4 words of line 5 (C).


I took care to include several historical references of a political and Biblical nature. I conceived this piece as an allegory of commonly heard truths that fell by the wayside. I enjoyed this.
