Unending Folly

Tick tock, tick tock,
 strikes the old clock.

Boom, boom, boom!
 roar the sounds of cannons.

Roll, humanity's ship, roll,
 cast your net, drag the troll.

Unending curse of history
 marches to the same folly.

Tick tock, tick tock,
 strikes the old clock.

Boom, boom, boom!
 roar the sounds of cannons.

Time slips away, drifting by,
 same ending, innocents die!

Last Rites

Frozen body in
         in the icy river
A young woman 
          met her fate early
She wanted freedom 
    But she found      
Let the night come
   A single candle burning 
cuts through the gloom
In lands of shadow 
Where can a soul find peace?
    Old answers no longer 
suffice 
    As the old tent - maker said:
"...sultan after sultan 
with his pomp
abode his hour or two and went his way"

Twirly

Tram stops Old lady asks "Am I twirly?"
Conductor looks up tram and shakes his head
On she gets and on we go

As a young lad on the way to school
I often wondered how old one had to be
To be Twirly

Three stops on the way were always empty
Three stops in a row
Trams all stopped

The area was bombed out
No complete houses stood
No one ever asked why they stopped

It made me proud to ride
With folks like that
Twirly or not
