Rest in Peace

Neda, rest in peace.

Michael Jackson, rest in peace.

Farah Fawcett, rest in peace.

Ali Akbar Khan, rest in peace.

Ed Mcmahon, rest in peace.

Rest in peace

In tranquil unknown of hollow “seventh” sky

Or heaven

Where bullets or bombs do not strike the innocents

Moon like crescents

And sun of oblivion

Dangle in wrangling flare

In other dimensional singularity

 

Deaths do us apart

From world of nostalgia

And horror

Too specific

Too corroding

To sing or muse

For brick by brick laid out

And choreographed abuse

From hellish junta

And diffused freedom

Neatly branded

As grail holy

 

Holy moly!

 

“Beat It” like it is the end

“Beat It” like “Time to Pretend”

Rest in Peace

In wholesome, glorious abyss
