Memories

Ones upon a life to pass Where joy could have been imagined to last With innocence far from rust And body far from dust Minds moved gradually to modify But rather to a direction of fright Where winter came in July Leaders seeing with longing sight Lion of humans claiming to fight for freedom Scouring it's paws out of boredom  In fine linen with lyrical carved tom tom With aim of exploiting to gain it's kingdom A little knowledge like water On heads of innocent souls Like a lamp light gloating over Till night stand still on the old Exemption they tried to agitate Breaking all laws till it abates Creating powers to hate And a ground rule never to be late Pains still it caused Hunger turning to a course Stomach crying for change Eyes can't see from range Deaf ear they turned To the screams of scraping Incense they burned All for winning Two heroes in the tragedy of their making Both running into the chamber turning And all souls within them burning While rulers fighting for last man standing
