Poem
Remember when we could still stand To gaze upon some virgin land Appreciate the beauties of the Earth? Remember when the flowers bloomed in May, How we lived, day to day When little things still had intrinsic worth? Remember when there were no fears out there beyond the fence? Remember when we still had common sense? But now it seems so far away Though it happened only yesterday The tremor's still a-shaking in my heart. And now there's just a stoneage silence Born of but a moment's violence Standing sentry in a landscape torn apart. The heat came down like a mountain falling in the sea The sky lit up like a thousand suns Ten million souls cried in agony Hung in the air, then faded out as one. Sorry, don't like to steal your sleep, my dears Didn't mean to probe your deepest, darkest fears. But I keep having this terrible dream, you see You can't imagine how it makes me feel When I wake, draw close to me Tell me, was it really real? Remember when things didn't seem So pointless so gone extreme That we could let the children play outside? Remember when the Grand Alliance Worked so hard for world compliance Yet how they finally made us go and hide? Remember when the world that was Was still a place for having dreams How strange the thought of that now seems. But now it seems so long ago A million miles from what we know The Final Crime committed now at last. So now it's all a weary show As on and on and on we go Our living time is now - the Past's the Past.
