"The Cat Who Ate, Prayed, and Loved"

we could not see the trouble coming
happy in that golden time
we saw our normalcy unfurl
lunar in that golden time

we watched our rosy miracles
batten in the sweet sunshine
and all our deals with Moloch throve,
Moloch, in that golden time

we knew what we had done was wrong
to all the lesser echelons
which did not stop us glorying in
freedom in that golden time

our aspirations harry us
as gift by gift they slip away
such stuff as dreams are built on, we
abolish in that golden time
