| Tea and Sympathy by Leslie LaVerne Bridges-Kemp �2000 Rose petals lie helter-skelter on a mirrored vanity top Evidence of an expression of lost love and former beauty. I enter a parched desert arena where bulls charge and bunnies hop. Thirsty for tender mercy I wave a red cape out of a sense of duty. Here in the year 2000 the computers are state of the art, But the human heart festers in decadence and depravity. Baby�s Breath, green with envy, enlivens the path to depart From ignorance and embark on intellect, respect humanity. Chaos lurks behind a fa�ade of please and thank you�s. Order was the violated law and the crime was simply hatred. Armageddon tick-tocks on Salvador Dali clocks as we choose Death and deny life, aborting all that is purely sacred. |
