Analysis of Noble Vigilante

Sarah Brower 1995 (New Jersey)



Oh noble vigilante
how admired you are
inspiring with utmost respect

I laugh inside sir
they see you outside in
for I see you inside out

I cry inside oh vigilante
I die inside your vaulted secret
they see you through crystal lends

My pupils no longer dilated
they no longer shine with dew
for truth has dried them up

Your feet caressed in virgin kisses
leaving the softest breadcrumbs
delicious to the tongue of babes

Well vigilante
my tongue has been numb
from the poison of falsehoods
foaming at the mouth my breath departs
