Walking through the trees Dead Poets grip their "fate" filled unknown names Wincing at the thought of the bright starlight In a world where words lay unrecognized Terror strikes by black bats biting Near heels they still wish were there's Bayonets strike ****** through their pages of white As outside the quick rats race Tightening a grip on the neck of the scratching poor Could it be? Could we see? That this ain't the way to be? Streets lined with hobo's holding tokens in their eyes, Mourning mother's mock themselves in the mirror Of their distasteful & unattractive agony Tightening skin, burnt with pink, kills itself While holding to the thought of love, Holding it's own bullet & gun Snow that once would melt Stays hard & true Just to see us slip, it's now having the fun Babies cry but not a soul runs to help As monsters squeaky clean, meekly weeping, whelp, picking at their spleen Lean on me but know I'll let you fall Just like my great-father's would have done Farewell to the world, farewell to the States Our time is eternally & regretfully done
