Andrew Jacob Jung Poet Rondeau

Distraction

I must turn my attention away from the scene
This rapidly darkening dreadful dream
Games I will play or books I will read 
Yea will I smoke til my mind is freed
Til the tempest is past and the land washed clean

To silence the Crow and his stabbing scream
I commit an act I once thought obscene
My head can't handle this speed
I must turn my attention away

O I'll say a prayer to the Queen
Make a pilgrimage to a place I've been
Until it's too late to take heed 
O I'll sing a blithe song indeed
I must turn my attention away
