Inquest Lyrics by J.D. Smith

0

Inquest

The flesh is breached,
The venom spread,
The heart’s core reached,
The victim dead.

Attention then
Turns to a cause.
What beast again
Might bare its claws?

What hand might wield
A doubled spike,
One still concealed
And set to strike?

A board convenes,
Investigates
The motives, means
And ending, states

That policies,
If well-defined,
Need not appease
The common mind.

Thus panels form
To formulate
A law or norm
To forge a state

That would preclude
The thought of wrath—
Or set the mood
To seek that path.

As plans abound
And measures crawl
That gain no ground
Fresh victims fall,

And some perceive
They hear a word
Or may believe
A voice inferred

From field and brake
As rattles shake:
Make no mistake.
There is no snake.
