Silent as the final hour heralding a quake, we cut the wire . . .
We slipped the guard, sprayed "LOVE" across the barricades.
As searchlights swooped and froze and failed to isolate
a trace of life outside the gates of New Tomorrow.
The penalty for deviation's clear to those with ears and eyes.
We stretch our claws behind closed doors. We always have our alibis.
Outside we smile with lips zipped, eyes fixed forward. We never criticise
the pure and guiding Light of new Tomorrow.
But though they burned the history books, they cannot kill the ghost
that cruises Blindman's boulevard and plants a rose . . .
who flings his seeds of Breakdown Bridge and sees a legend grow
of life beyond the throes of New Tomorrow.
And we have watched the sun roll down the mountain to a frozen lake.
We have heard our laughs go on forever deep inside a crystal cave.
We told them as they plunged the needle, pledging our escape
from the all-embracing arms of New Tomorrow.
WE SHALL SEE OUR KINGDOM COME!
