Down, Down, Down... Poem by Kurt Philip Behm

Down, Down, Down...

Rating: 5.0


The commonest denominator,
stepping toward the throne

His minions with their blindfolds on,
about to be disowned

The commonest denominator,
laughing at their pain

Another lie, stick in the eye
—a life of greed and shame
