Do you hear the music?
Seductive ‘ringing little bells ‘
Day and night
He is singing for the rats
Rat-singer
Pay him his due
“Render unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s,
And unto God the things that are God’s”
Else he will sing
The child in us will be stolen
None left to say “The Emperor is naked”
The doors remain barred, for
“Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children
We will never enter the kingdom of heaven
