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

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2EEiXAz8d

The seeds have all grown,

The pages have turned,

Wise kings have all flown,

Their brave castles burned.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9YZY8NbCf

Your chapters of darkness

In history's book:

An offering of caution

That nobody took.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5teo00sBfp

The hatred and lies,

Whole cities' demise:

The people suppressed

By oaths of 'what's best.'

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZavTEYOA0W

Sweet Truth on the altars

And Heart in the fires:

What terrible falters

And horrible pyres!

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8ven687vt

Nostalgically gripped

By a golden age passed,

We eagerly flipped

Lost pages at last.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLWi7tRZ2b

The lessons of old

So seldomly told,

If only you knew

How twisted seeds grew!
