They killed the daydreamers first
for they were the most dangerous
with 12-inch rulers, loud frightening voices
and bags of marbles and rocks
tied to their knees
They brought hope & salvation
in bags, in robes, in books
redemption was their wicked twin
sin was imminent, worn like bloody scabs
Satan was their slave
always the first to arrive
never the last to leave
They held high his banner and cross
when you met Them
obliged you were to wear the rosary
They tied it to your neck
then they would twist it until you died.
