GENRE: Poetry

BOOK BLURB:
This is the second edition of poetry written by Peter Hynes, after Under the Oak. I hope you enjoy reading these poems, and perhaps I can make you think about things you might not ordinarily think about.

EXCLUSIVE EXCERPT:
From The Costume Box (Book Two):
holy fools
you brandish your Bible,
your Torah, your Koran
and nearly every other holy book
that men cling to as you do,
as if you believe it is a weapon
with which you can stave off
the chaos you’re contributing to
when you’re not here
praying for the rapture
to come and take you away
or invoking your god to war,
prepared to be a sacrifice
in the holiest of causes,
little suspecting
there’s a lot of us heathens
praying your god takes you soon,
so we can live or die in peace,
free to choose without some holy fool
forever telling us what to do
