The 4 Gone Conclusions

________________________________________________________________________________________________

The 4 gone conclusions
went north, west,
south then east

They carried arms
for Venus
into the belly
of the beast

Where fact and fiction
were the main event

Billed as:
Be flexible
or get bent
Fact hit north
fiction hit south
fact took it in the gut
fiction bled in his mouth
The 4 gone conclusions
sat in the east
They cheered for the angel
and cheered for the beast
The four horsemen divided unevenly
Three rode in daylight
one rode his night mare
They quivered
with quips on their lips
and gave us
the apocalypse 
***
