The bulls at Knossos














You think that you are so good
No-one asked you to pass by
With your vampires and fake blood
You make wolves howl and babies cry
Like some moth-eaten Svengali
Carefully, you coached each Muse
You’re an embarrassment, a cliché
At Knossus, you ran the sacred bulls
You float, like an anaemic flower
In your fortress of selenium
You are passive, you have no real power
Your religion is delirium
Though you merely reflect the sun’s light
Some are led by you to dream or fight
