They left 1

By friendly batom
The unripe rubble of them all
Came back after a kind persuasion 5

The first quartile
of the celebrated score
veered persuasively
to the countryside 10
where peasants scratch
barren grounds
But someone left to the unknown
the referee
who once blew the whistle 15
and the ground where once stood
Is mined and barbed
Is mined and barbed.
