For A Dance

John the Baptist spoke unpleasantly 
About higher ups, and presently 
His head was brought forth on a platter. 
It seems that surely this would end the matter? 
Not quite. His sightless eyes 
Bored into their souls, and to their surprise, 
They found they still had consciences to drown, 
And felt their dreams of triumph spiraling down.
