Tumbrils Rattling Ideas to Their Deaths
“Tradition is not the worship of ashes, but the preservation
of fire.”
-attributed to Gustav Mahler
(But no one sources the quote so maybe it’s from
someone else)
That which is good is now
tumbriled through the streets
The carter following
the map upon his MePhone
Or rather the map upon
their MePhone
Now that one
man must not, dare not be he
That which is true is
stood upon the gallows
It may tweet aloud for
a moment or two
But weighted down with
the burdens of trends
It must immediately be
jerked up short
That which is
beautiful is burnt as fuel -
All sacrificed to
Moloch, loving and cruel
