STONES

Down the rabbit hole he goes!
Through the shattered glass he can see the stones that have been thrown.
He hears the words that are never spoken.
He sees the lies that keeps his mouth sealed.
The time is near!
The time is here!
They say to the once venerated but now assumed wicked heart
Then they cast him out to the gates of Hell
Just to say they will love him always under God’s veil.
