JULY "Dark Year of the Penguin"

http://www.stageofthearts.info/Dark_Year_of_the_Penguin.html

The rats
Are always the first to be aware of the shipwreck,
Then they escape, with their dark glasses,
Their false passports, their suitcases filled with papers,
They mingle with the patriots,
Hide in the telephone cords,
Going everywhere,
Offering their services to other tyrants,
Exploding in a foreign land their notorious fame,
They repent, before the ship sinks
in an ocean of blood,
the rats escape,
they take asylum,
they hang themselves,
or they are saved
