Pause and Reflect

from To Serve Man by Steve Harvey Oswald

/

lyrics

choking and coughing up pieces of lung
bleeding and reeking of vomit and dung
twitching and spitting and floored and struck dumb
festering, waiting the coming undone

pause and reflect
contemplate that
pause and reflect
then recollect

gun at the neck
knee in the sack
blade in the back
pause and reflect

conscious but fading and mumbling, glum
hazy and aching, decaying in sun
patient containment, indifferent, benumbed
laid with the waste of the general sum

pause
