Uncivilized

where is the Barbarian now?

the savage that roars fiercely into the night

he who stood against the jaded masses

walked the other direction without pause

the moonlight shining down upon his back

the people noticed

that night never forgotten


 

the Barbarian has been gone for some time

seasons pass into a flow of life

yet he never reappeared

lost to the night of defiance

the people forgot as they do

few wise ones remembered that time

when trouble came to their doorsteps

of he who stood against the masses


 

unkind ones threatened their being

they favored remembrance

called into the forgotten light

asked, called, pleaded, begged

the Barbarian answered

with cries resounding of another place with no limits

he entered the scene

cleared away those who threatened the masses


 

the Barbarian has returned

savage roars escape his throat during the sun phase

the people call him hero

Savior

he is accepted with distance

attempts have been made to tame him

the masses fall for this civilization of their souls

he knows better

this Barbarian from beyond
