The Incident at Gadarene
By Sam Gold

The deceivers who summoned Scylla obscene
Knew I taught mercy over sacrifice.
I wept for the creatures at Gadarene.

A man bruised and foaming bowed near the stony green.
They knew I could not bear the sacrifice,
The deceivers who summoned Scylla obscene.

The holy breath knows the seen and unseen
Temples where they feed on sacrifice
And wept for the creatures at Gadarene.

The tables where I gave vent to my spleen
Were rife with the money of sacrifice
That speaks not a word of Scylla obscene.

The crowds poured onto the stony green,
Their fear illumining the sacrifice.
They shed not a tear for Gadarene.

Preach the gospel to every being!
No man, no beast should suffer such sacrifice
As the wretches' who summoned Scylla obscene.
I wept for the creatures at Gadarene.
