On Guernica
Inspired by the painting, Guernica, by Pablo Picasso...
A twisted mass of flesh and death
A monstrous congregation
gathered under stark electric light
and a burning, uncaring sun.
Death has come to Guernica
And horror follows in His wake
Tears shed, blood bled,
vision is distorted.
As war and thunder sweep this land,
life is aborted.
Severed limbs and severed lives
The torture of divides.
That wailing animal cry
Echoes through our history
Preserved forever in one mans eye
scarred across his heart.
Death has come to Guernica
And horror follows in His wake.
