A prayer for peace

Happy Emancipation Day, People,

Celebrate the constantly evolving miracle of human survival,
passion, intelligence, humour,
capacity for laughter, grief, sympathy, pain and creativity.

Peace.

It has come
It has come

Fire-ritual
and bloodfeast
a banner of heads on spikes

the black surge

and Toussaint in
the Fort de Jour
dying with cold

It has come
It has come

Firestorm
and bloodrage
a sky of flame

the black surge

and Toussaint in
the Fort de Jour
dying with cold

It has come
It has come

Fireceremony
and bloodrush
an insane sunrise

the black surge

and Toussaint in
the Fort de Jour
dying with cold

It has come
It has come

Ashes to Ashes
Blood to Dust

Ashes to Ashes
Blood to Dust

and Toussaint in
the Fort de Jour
dying with hope
