Mercy Please
Angels dancing on the heads of pins
should pause in their aerobics
to come save the world.
Music and motion is all the rage.
Even I would be tempted
by a good tempo,
but guardians are needed
now and always
to save us from ourselves
and all the other beasties
across the sea and near to home
or out there beyond the sky
thinking up ways to end our lives,
faster maybe,
than what we can devise.
