DECIBELISATION
Decibelisation was already old
When Dresden’s china first charred the ashes;
When the war to end all wars
Turned Flanders’s field to poppies,
And when Cromwell’s convoys rattled
The cobbled streets of old Kilkenny.
And still the echos throb today.
NOISE
Decibelisation was old
When Dresden’s china charred the ashes
When the war to end all wars
Turned Flanders fields to mushy poppies
When Cromwell’s convoys rattled on
The cobbled streets of old Kilkenny
And still,today, those echoes throb
When walking down a quiet lane, I hear
The rumbles of some distant noisy mob.
