Poem To The Editor

Poem To The Editor

A blood-curdling scream
Darkness descends blindingly
They grope in terror and fear
Moving from these airless pits
Upwards to knowledge and light
But alas!
Ignorance there too has done its work.
In sinister semi-darkness
The menacing shadows huddle over lamps
Half-frozen figures peer through the gloom
Trying to decipher invisible symbols.
No light, no warmth—barbarism spreads its cloak.
Back in the Dark Ages, culture torn down?
No, it's just daily life here in Rankine-Brown.
