All the World Was A'spinning, and the Good Rains Never Fell
All The World Was A'spinning, And The Good Rains Never Fell
Back when I was just a dead leaf cast upon the cold ground
I was all a jitter living a life without a sound
But the deep echoes, the screaming echoes of dancing ghosts
Are from that darken place where the devil plays the guest host
All the world was a'spinning, and the good rains never fell
Demons came out dancing, leaving behind all that damn hell
I was watching the hellish show from my old hiding place
With a ton of worries, a sad grimace upon my face
I looked up the sky was falling and white snowflakes came too
I was on my knees a'praying, Heaven wouldn't take you.
As bad nightmares go that was a real god smacking whopper
A voice called out, she is gone you couldn't stop her
Now buck you self up and face this dying world you have made
You have been deceived and man have you been so played.
Robert J. Lindley, Sonnet
Nov. 1985
Note:
Wake up, it was just a bad dream...
