(A response to Neil Peart's "A Farewell to Kings")

319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkwT4J0kcV

The seeds have all grown,

The pages have turned,

Wise kings have all flown,

Their brave castles burned.

319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SsosT8hfg

Your chapters of darkness 

In history's book:

An offering of caution 

That nobody took.

319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjEV364fXi

The hatred and lies,

Whole cities' demise:

The people suppressed 

By oaths of 'what's best.'

319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxUyrr8VDi

Sweet Truth on the altars 

And Heart in the fires:

What terrible falters 

And horrible pyres!

319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1vkRAFXXB

Nostalgically gripped 

By a golden age passed,

We eagerly flipped 

Lost pages at last.

319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmE7acTjkP

The lessons of old 

So seldomly told,

If only you knew 

How twisted seeds grew!
