From "A Pocket Full of Angels"

Love your mother
the earth!
She's the only one
who's ever truly
loved you, brother,
since your birth

"While others leave
or simply fade away,
if you ask me well
your friend until
the end of time
I'll stay"

"Give us your
first-born child"

:The wild-eyed
virgin pleads +
cries, misunderstanding;
asking questions
w/ her eyes

History repeats
itself, on much
larger scales

Ask no questions

Ignorance is
far better than
baleful truth

Execution-camp
junkie
line up for
the slaughter

Who's next?

"Come here, boy-
watcher lookin' at?"
(to the others)
"Throw him in
the lions' den!"

(Scream fades away)

Using Calgary as a backdrop the author satirizes the self-serving nature of the public as it continues to fatten itself, not only physically, but egotistically as well.
