The Visions of Sacco Vanzetti

 


(A lone voice whispers)



I've lit so many small fires


Inside this dark labirinto

Within my mind 


To push back the conception or creation 


Of deathly darkness 

By flickering light 


I've saw raw visions as wicked voices 


Draw sharpened claws 

To bleed the Black Mud 


They


The corrupted 

Bend to pray 

Kneel and love 


Before they go to war 

With crazy political applause


Saw countless coffins 

In lines of black and gold 


All shiny

Caused by sin 


Filled to brim 

As young and old 


Grave diggers 

Dug 


Saw roots of Chaos 

Toot 


In victory

As being sown 


Watched a new man 

Like Nero 


Sit on burning throne  


While ash and lava

Welcome him home 

 

Seas  

Boil from black to red 


With sweet embrace of the dead 


Heard battle songs 

Of false strengths and gory 


As I stood in circle 

Seeing new tapestries


Before me

Of an old story 


The greed of man 


Chasing 

Dark versions of Mary 


For a sip 

Of her black cherry 


Or whatever's 

In her inventory


But near when end 

Seems to run its course 


As people flee 


On foot

Or horse


I dreamed or saw

Angels appear 


With those we miss 

And love the most 


Standing side 

By side 


With Holy Ghost 


Whispering 


Fear not 

The Great Rot



But see this day 

And know 


Faith lives on 


For with prayer 

It's never gone 


And it's why the Dark 

Will always die 


And Light 

Will always 


Rise again 


For although they seek to corrupt 


The world of men 

With wicked plans 


They will not succeed 


For the love of power 

Corruption 

And greed 


Will be their undoing 


For it's in those gardens 

The Lord 


Your Lord

Regardless of Name


Has sown his 

Judgmental Seeds
