number eight

Here we go again
plug yourself in
grab your partner
and start the dance all over again

They did it! They did it!
We'll get them, by God!

there will always be "them"
we'll keep counting the years
and listen to the same story each time
and there will always be "them"

what does it mean to love thy neighbour
when I'm told to be afraid of them?

today
we commemmorate
fear
of ourselves.
