The One-fingered Revolution

181 50 53
                                    

I am the one fingered revolution,

The mono-clawed lock picker, the brave dike

Blocking finger of Haarlem and also

The index poking light out of dark clouds.

I am the Himalaya-melting Ganga-

Father, come to rewild holy gardens,

To breed truth again, to burn old totems,

To poison modern devils with one touch.

Let the heart reek of fire, if not in me

Then from you, let it erupt through fingers.

I am the middle finger to evil

Wrung injustice but well, who could blame me ..!..
