Nowhere Town

There's a stonewall near the village built to keep the people in Or maybe to keep people out from where ever they have been Nobody is a stranger here each has been here all their lives Not one has gone into the world for it's here that one survives The bells of freedom hang silent they no longer echo wide The one that had controlled the ropes had just simply up and died The writers of their history have left nothing out by chance Proof readers do no overtime nothing needs a second glance The last road has been diverted so that no one passes through There's nothing left worth seeing now and nothing tourists can do They've agreed at the town meeting old signs have been taken down They're painting up a new one now it simply says "Nowhere Town"
