Reminders of a Storyteller
THEY WROTE THINGS TO REMIND US
NOT OF FEARS OF STORMS
THEY MENTIONED CERTAIN DETAILS
BUT NEVER WARNED AGAINST HARM
THEY SIGHTED MADNESS AND RAGE
THE EXPECTATIONS OF LUST
THEY NEVR CREATED GUIDE LINES FOR
THOSE IN GOD WE TRUST
THEY SIGHTED IN DETAIL
AND WROTE IT WORD
CURSES FROM THEIR TIMES
THEY WE COULD HEAR WHAT THEY HEARD
THOSE WHO CAME BEFORE US
LEFT REMINDERS OF THE PAST
THEIR EXPECTATIONS OF THE FUTURE
STORIED FIRST TO LAST
THEY WISHED TO REMIND US
OF THESE UNCERTAIN THINGS
THEY MODELED OUR CURRENT CIVALIZATION
WITH THEIR DOOMY AND GLOOMY DREAMS
SOME WERE TO HELP US
SOME WERE FROM THEIR OWN HATE
THE MODELS OF LOVE ARE STORIED
THEY ARE NEVER PAST OR LATE
BUT SOME OF THESE MENTIONS
SCRIPTED FOR A WORLD TO HEAR
MAKES WRITTEN TO MAKE PEOPLE TO CRY
AND SOME WRITTEN TO MAKE US SHED A TEAR
