The War: a Lifetime Long
This is everything we've ever been taught
A lesson learned is a lesson more or less forgotten
With the weight of your world, the hum of your tune
Everything is over all to soon
With a crack of a whip it all turns slow
when everywhere we've been
is everywhere we'll go
We bellow and bask and things gone wrong
this is more or less hearing; not listening to the song
The more you give, the more they take
And the gift in return?
a smile,
the essence of fake.
The gift of life, not the job or task
is a gift from the future, the present, the past
It's a beautiful tempest
a song
Life long.
