At The Gates Of Heavenly Peace
In remberance
by Richard Tornello
Alone,
do you really stand defiant?
if only for a second.
the cameras iris, quantum communication
ccd catches a remembrance,
would rather be lost and forgotten.
did you stop them?
over 160 tons, Gandhi like
for a second arms down
facing the dragon
for a second
by the cameras early light
stopped in their tracks
stopped by the cameras lens
stopped for a second
They fear that,
They fear you.
