ETERNAL
ETERNAL RETURN
We live in a world where 100 teenaged girls were
kidnapped from their school in a copycat crime
Lagos Nigeria late last night And here at home in
Calgary a gentle would-be law student rampaged at
a party with a knife Also a copycat crime
In these first days of Spring we’re focusing on
renewal but some darkness has moved in from
the edges The gentle boy tweeted: the world needs
a hero He also spoke of dread & the fugitive mind
quoting the metal band Megadeath
It’s likely that Yeats was right The rough beast on slow
thighs has arrived and arrived and arrived
