The Dumb

The river couldn't be contained.
The train couldn't be stopped.
The wave came crashing down
And the steel horse came in.
Down through the heart,
Straight through the court.
Paralyzed and dumb they watched
Wrath and Death howling with delight
The matinee show on the isle of the dumb.
But on they watched,
and some did weep
So all was quiet
and nothing done
All on the Isle of the dumb.
