dancing on the fire tops
tiny little mary
was just too small to do it
on her own
so we took turns to carry her
as far away
from her home
dancing on the fire tops
of the incendiaries
the democracies had blown
from the cannons they call
leave well enough alone
i told mary to be brave
that not all of us are slaves
to the machines that rave
she smiled and said
another marshmallow please
as we settled that night
in her secret cave.
some men claim to be
your friends
while others truly
are monsters
pretending to be brave.
