Parable

*Gustav Moreau* Song Of Songs (detail)

So
Long
Ago,
The
Story
Has
Perhaps
Grown
Slow,
But
If
We
Reach
Beyond
The
Code
Of
King
James
Ode,
We
Seek
To
Stand
Upon
An
Ancient
Nation’s
Sand
And
Raise
A
Killing
Hand.
These
People
Trace
Their
Mystery
Back
Beyond
Feeble
History
And
It
Is
Wrong
To
Interfere,
Our
Purpose
Murderous
And
Unclear,
To
Strike
A
Population
With
Deadly
Fear.
