“ON THE NIGHT OF FRIVOLITIES”

Yester-night came the day our hearts will never forgive

With memories, we hope will but a while linger

‘Twas the night our conscience slipped into grave slumber

And to the innermost desires of our lust we did cleave

‘Twas the night we lived our untold ecstatic fantasies

That had wandered our head both day and night

That same world of pervert freedom and crooked delight

Freedom from all that made our kind humans

‘Twas the night the demons in us were set loose

Like the escape of starving lions from hades’ cage

We gobbled from fun to lust; relishing in wild pillage

Till that night became dawn, then paid we the price

Aye! A troubling remorse; for it was the night

We desired fun but diced with death.
