Knowing Diddlysquat

Fresh faces open all about you
Dynamite feelings through 
Time leads to another dimension
I wish it could all be true

There could be an army extension
To battle your empty convention
Where life interferes with peace too
And where the mace leaves contusions 

I want to know diddlysquat about you
For you have brought nothing but adieu
Maybe you could bring me someone
That can fill the void by falling through

What does time have to do with anyone
But our feelings deep inside everyone
War can be hell, just let bygones be bygones
And being by myself, I go about it alone

Russell Sivey
