He See's But Does Nothing

  1. He sees but does nothing

    When the long ones come by

    Dark and menacing

    With terrible eyes

    Holding black weapons

    Held up to the sky

    Titanic in size,

    The Long Ones arrive.


    He sees but does nothing

    As his townsmen come out.

    The women are screaming

    And the children shout.

    And the men are armed

    And all about.

    All, in doubt…

    Because the Long Ones arrive.


    He sees but does nothing

    As the Long Ones swept through

    Hacking and slashing

    As whole bodies flew

    Severed, dismembered

    And flaming, a few

    There was never no bloodshed

    When the Long Ones came through.


    He sees but does nothing

    But the tears wet his eyes

    As the people he loved

    Were crushed as though flies

    As the people he loved

    All begged, screamed, and died

    For the sake of a deer

    He killed for a prize.


    He sees but does nothing

    As the Long Ones depart

    Leaving behind

    Their gory art.

    Leaving him to

    No home, no friends

    No place to sleep or,

    His letters, to send


    Only an end


    To a life he once known

    And the birth of a man

    Who made venegeance his own
