The Challenger Reverts To a God
they do not care
yes,
they talk with a lion heart
but it falls to numbers
when pressed,
raindrops become acid
and the challenger reverts to a god
one,
which they have made their own
but it is made of paper mache
and they do not understand –
what it means to be asked
they are spineless
they are lacking in true courtesy
the kind that that feudal economies
can never give out
James Garratt – Monday 17th May 2010
