The Dance

Invitations are given, all soon accept.

The room quickly fills to capacity.

The music soon builds into a rapid dance beat.

A multitude of people awake and burst into activity.

            The dance starts.

The thrashing of many bodies

Consumed with exuberant fire.

Carried along in passionate fervor.

Along the exotic path to emotional fulfillment.

            The dance goes on.

Insane motions and deranged thoughts

Flow through their set-free minds.

Innate frustrations are relieved through physical exertion.

And normal inhibitions are shucked off; anything goes.

            And the dance goes on.

Fertility rites and pagan dancing.

The supreme test of mans vitality

Is whether or not he will endure.

These ceremonies often involve pain.

            And the dance goes on.

The music builds to a crescendo and fades out.

Applause rings its appreciation to the band.

Joe sinks into the remembrance and sorrow arises.

Souls come down to earth for another week.

            The dance has ended.
