I CLAP
I clap to the rhythms of the drums
As they call the names of names afar
I clap to the gyrating symmetry of the dancers
As they interpret the ideals in measured gait.
I clap to the sonorous voice of the Nightingale
Driving Cupid through the hearts of yearning Tender souls.

I clap
I clap to the innocent ingenuity of lads
As they build sand caves into communities
Devoid of pretentious supremacy.

I clap
I clap at the putrid stench of decay
That pervades the corridors of the wise
I clap at the unmitigated celebration of hate
I clap at the niceties youths decorate the Absurd entrenched by ancients of tomorrow.

I clap
Yes, I clap to you
Yes, I clap at you.
