AN EIGHT-HANDED MAN

A Man With Eight Hands

A Sonnette
By Izzy Sommers, MD


I met a man from Western Inner Bands
Who demonstrated that he held eight hands
Which represented East, West, North and South
In Duplicate, last year, by word of mouth,
Which won for him and Genevieve the prize
Of Twenty thousand Deutsch Marks and some Gold
Left over from the World War II from bold
And schizophrenic egomaniacs.
Perhaps, the egomaniacs have had
Their traumas and anxieties, expressed
Their anger at some scapegoats and some aliens
As part of xenophobia and social
Phobias, when covered up, are deadly
If their power is not curbed by TRUTH.

The End
