No More Laughter

The seasons have
changed us
        the dead do not 
come back from the war
     The seasons have changed us 
The bloodthirsty call fot more
           the wind will not subside
we realize we're in for quite a ride
       The seasons have 
changed us
   Makes little difference 
if we have dreams
  we're pinned down by a rock
the seasons have changed us
We can't open our hearts - there's a lock
and we feel ourselves 
sliding down a slippery slope
The seasons have changed us
One last look at dying hope
  Absolute silence
Peace at the end 
That's the message I send

Matt, I love the sad atmosphere of your poety, this one no exception. Loved the refrain running thru this one too! Luv, Andrea
