Morbid Cavorting of Silent Spectators and Their Sport
The acrobatics of violence
A splintered skull the stage
The ballet of a bullet
As it pirouettes in rage
What morbid fascination
When one among us dies
What moronic concentration
On a mortal booby prize
With innocence of battle
Children watch with glee
The gore it takes to pacify
Their curiosity
Amusement in an auto wreck
Fun in shattered bone
The music of the victims
As they start to gag and moan
How many steps to follow
In Death's irreverent dance
The brutal ballerina
In a savage slaughter prance
