Decadence
Poetry
Decadence What is decadence? Oh land of the free That alights on the world Next to living tree The leaves of plenty Doth shine from a star Singing the love song Of tonic sol- We are but dust On the rock strewn sand, Reaching for stars In the bright sky, so bland Skipping, limping We run the hard talk Of five legged fishes Trying to walk Going up, climb high! To descend to the deep Oh decadence We are but sheep [Tony Matthews 2002] |
