They asked if I wanted to go North, I asked if there was any place further South, They shook their heads side to side, I said I needed time, was there absolutely any place else, They shook their heads side to side, I asked if there was still room for me here with my wife and children so near, They shook their heads side to side, "besides" said one, "they are not going anywhere that you cannot come back, to the gravesides" I looked them in the eye They shook their heads side to side I went for a break found myself in front of a newscast, somewhere in the world there was one two three terrible clashes, somewhere on the west coast of some distant promised landing, a bottling giant was guzzling profits while emptying Mother Earth, her name is Aquafir, if that was not enough some part of the under under cover part of a government arm admitted that Area 51 exists but it is more like a farm, something stinks and there is allot of ******** I went back and looked them in the eye and asked how long I'd be away and they said, "until you die" I can come back to visit. They nodded up and down "once a year" they said and each one had a frown. I changed my heart to get away from this insane place we know, has become, I will find my peace far from this madding crowd, as long as they don't find me if they come looking from, the top of the world, down. If they do I will shake my head side to side, instead of choosing who is right, so leave me to find my peace my mind, until I see my loves once more.

Side to side
