Analysis of Cemetery Of Dreams
We’ve allowed our cities
to turn into jungles
And now act surprised
when the animals bite and maim
“The new ‘Heart Of Darkness’
the hunted unfree
“Our surprise at their rebellion
but the blame plain to see
“A planned isolation
the haves from have not’s
“Now a cemetery of dreams
—for dark progeny to rot”
(Villanova Pennsylvania: July, 2015)
