CHILDHOOD
CHILDHOOD’S END
Victor & Rolf of Amsterdam made 20
beastly dolls Human hair & porcelain
skin Walking mini-zombies
The tiny blonde & blue-eyed girl stomps
upon my foot Her mother buys her candy Open my lolly now !
I know she is alive doll eyes all aglow
On CNN last night they asked: Do you
think the photos of the Sandyhook 20
splayed out on their gymnasium floor
will further gun control legislation ?
Somehow there is a connection between
the macabre taxidermic trolls and the
bullet-ridden children Others will have
a more benevolent take no doubt –

And I have made an image of the monster here
The noise of war in its head a babe laugh in its belly

Remember that art imitates life, for better or worse! It is still man’s inhumanity to man that I won’t accept.
