Goalpost
He heard the bells tolling
and the vibrations of the bronze
that pierced the clear
Sunday morning
air
he wondered why the tolling
will be followed
by hymns, joy and songs
or machine guns will echo
horribly
spreading
destruction
all over?
I’m only saying this:
we’ll all run
to the goalposts, boys
to the goalposts
in vigil
sleepless guards
always ready
glancing here and there
be prepared
that the goals
won’t start
like rain
and we’ll be defeated
