“The Straw Dolls by Stewart Stafford After surrender's pin-drop grief, Came a nihilistic jackboot slope, Replaced with twisting blades, As you dangle on a slippery rope. Everything secure now ashes, A blind road ahead lies shunning, Every pillar of society smashed, In whipped despotic slumming. Fleeting daydreams of rebellion, They'll cut those ideas from you, Violence begetting violence now, The bloodied crown turned blue. © Stewart Stafford, 2023. All rights reserved.” — Stewart Stafford
The Straw Dolls by Stewart Stafford
After surrender's pin-drop grief,
Came a nihilistic jackboot slope,
Replaced with twisting blades,
As you dangle on a slippery rope.
Everything secure now ashes,
A blind road ahead lies shunning,
Every pillar of society smashed,
In whipped despotic slumming.
Fleeting daydreams of rebellion,
They'll cut those ideas from you,
Violence begetting violence now,
The bloodied crown turned blue.
