danny

now you are wiser
dear danny up there
you time was up
you had to leave

now you are wiser
you know you were caught
in a storm of
not of our making
the vicious wheels of
injustice grind
as is writ in fate
innocents are
caught in them again
and again ín again

now you are wiser
and rid of all pains
but the injustice
and showers of death
still come unabated
we wait in silence
sheep in abattoir
for our turn

because we are the
silent, living dead
