DIMMING THE SPARK

Yes, they did not know,
taken by surprise,
purged of innocent
and of the pure,
sculpted into the mature.

All thoughts on class and war,
deemed by the proper and clean,
gorillas of the screen,

beating the guardians
blind of creative form
of dancing ghosts and beads
adorned, backs to the sun gods
and unpredictable skies.
Children with film in their eyes

...Dimming the spark
of the creator's art.
