All hope is gone)

My first TRUE LOVE

:/:/:

all the boys know I was in love with NINA FINESTONE !

even she knew !

//

( We were all about 9 or 10 )

NINA would stick with her crew of girls

While us boys played football

During recess

/:/

And then

The day of infamy  !

They grabbed me and dragged me over to

NINA

kiss her kiss her

They said

Pushing me into her

Not letting her get away !

And I did

( reluctantly )

It was horrible and NINA now hated me

//

Later

I saw her in the school yard alone

And I sort of stalked her until she was

( as before )

Sort of pined against the fence

••

NINA

listen !

You gotta listen !

You know

( you must ! )

How much I like and respect you

You must know that !

I would do nothing to harm you

But

What was the choice ?

Should I have started swinging !

Started a fight !

If you wanted me to do that I would have seen

It in your eyes !

//

We barely touched

And it was over

The boys went back to being

Stupid  little kids and here we are !

::

You know I like you

you know I respect you

You know we are just kids !

;:::;

She smiled and said

It's alright

::

Me?

I'm playin football with .....the boys

NINA?

she's hanging out with her crew over there

/:/

Oh !

NINA FINESTONE !

Light the fire

--

Pure are dreams when free men
Are assembled

--

(Free from everything)

--

Death is here

Honored

In the sanctuary

Transforming
--

We are our own security

No weapons
No
Money
..

These

------

Light the fire

It is time now
--

Free men gather

(  )

                                            ­                 you and only you can .......

all the questions are answered but all the answers are questioned

////                              ////
She is lovely ---- this is the ANSWER being questioned

////

( and you really look like her )

•    •

Every child in the rain

The wino sings a lovely song

Then you became a police man

////                   ////

The wind thru the trees

The cross on the hill

Still the child starving on the street

••

Her loving heart

Her lovely breast

The siren howling thru the night

////

I remember you !

Then you were gone !

Now here you are again !

•

Here we are

We can let ourselves be killed

Or meet tonight
