We all must learn to dance the danse macabre <br />Dance our wishes, dance in constant revolution <br />It all began with the apple and the arbre <br /> <br />Not to forget that we are humans still libre <br />Not look into those fiery orbs of perdition <br />We all will learn to dance the danse macabre <br /> <br />From time to time sing hymn a hosanna <br />If only we keep our inner motivation <br />It all began with the apple and the arbre <br /> <br />We must continue and sing a tra la la <br />Keeping our sights on that higher elevation <br />We all must know to dance the danse macabre <br /> <br />On land and on sea we see the rhea and orca <br />Frolicking and swimming with some apprehension <br />Not to forget the eaten apple at the arbre <br /> <br />Our acts of love must match our words with oevres <br />To insure for us a happy conclusion <br />This is not a dance with serpent diable <br />Who in the garden Eden circled the arbre <br /> <br /> August 19,2008<br /><br />Ben Gieske<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/danse-macabre-2/
