a sort of pied piper brought up to date

I just can’t believe what I’m seeing
at present
in crowded hot streets
all manner of sights
there’s a young naked women
being pawed everywhere
smeared with blood from some bull
and what of their rights

society gathers descending into
the gutters of god knows where
what can we do
to lift up our spirits
and try to refrain
from this orgy of lust
with its roots in the drain

this raucous and dissonant
darkly display
carnal displeasure
defilement a way
out of
the sanity of what we do
into a wantonness
without virtue

the blood of a tortured
bull spread on her skin
impure as the day is long
the nights drawing in
shamefulness surfaces
at the, crowds behest
out of their minds
as some cling to her breast

licentiousness clearly
sees a mass violation
of what should be beautiful
in all creation

but what has turned into
a debauched display
a lustful and prurient
provocative play
on seducing the spirit
and ravishing thought
an adaptation which clearly
has caught
every emotion its wicked
and wrong
and not where our spirit
should ever belong

we are it seems doomed
as we lower ourselves
down into the abyss
where the lower life delves
in the muddy morass
where the quick sands do swallow
and where she goes apparently
most men will follow
