Nothing makes the chatter stop Drop your gun and take it from the top My head, my hands, my legs, my feet What would be left if I went to meet the great gig in the sky, all those that came before that never die? Would they look at me as crazed? Would they tell me that I had wisdom beyond my days? I will never know because I'm bound to grow Here where greed is ripe, where liars hide Sat firmly in the great cosmic ride

The Great Gig in the Sky
Nothing makes the chatter stop Drop your gun and take it from the top My head, my hands, my legs, my feet What would be left if I went to meet the great gig in the sky, all those that came before that never die? Would they look at me as crazed? Would they tell me that I had wisdom beyond my days? I will never know because I'm bound to grow Here where greed is ripe, where liars hide Sat firmly in the great cosmic ride
I was listening to Pink Floyd. I avoided listening for so long because of the painful memories associated, but I couldn't hide much longer. I opened the flood gates, and here we are. A poem, tears, and longing for a better world.
