Living spirit
Revered emissary
Trembling voices of the night

Vampires of the day
Dancing round
Like roundworm

Spiritual mask
Flogging the uninitiated
To marathon race

Spiritual mask Flogging the uninitiated To marathon race The poet sees this tradition of flogging those who have not been initiated to the masquerade group as uncivilized and barbariic which should be stopped in this modern worrld.
