Poets of convenience
reality to sway
A stain that lasts forever
excuses not parlayed
'Thou Shalt Not Kill' long spoken
ancient law upon the land
Religious, secular, or more' bound
the truth has one command
A billion screaming babies
by curettes scraped away
As smug self-righteous killers
demand to have their way
The pathway to eternity
lined with voices put to death
'Thou Shalt Not Kill' their epitaph
—damning your last breath
(St. Josephs University: September,1972)
