Poem to Dionysus II


The vines grow swiftly from their frozen tomb
The beast of burden toils under the pale moon
The slave is whipped without complaint
The wife is beaten shown no restraint
The beggar starves in the dusty street
The prisoner awaits his gods to meet
The innocents flee as their homes are burned
The man awards himself the death he’s “earned”
Their flesh is bloodied aged and torn
But their souls hope and await their Lord
For these are the children of the Mad God
He calls to them with His great ivy rod
Release from burned pain anguish and lies
Are His free gifts to all not just the wise
Eove! Eove! Eove!
