A POEM BY : Ben Dunk. 1978

RIDDLES

Fair flow the lilywhite sands of time,

when life begins anew;

after the Holocaust  -

and this shall be the righteous sign,

to fall into view,

where men war boast.

A mighty hand of wrath across the river;

a piece of painted pumice in the sky,

a golden orb floating o’er a city

and the people shiver.

Long life to those who try

and death to those too petty.
