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

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FpYKNGTe7

The seeds have all grown,

The pages have turned,

Wise kings have all flown,

Their brave castles burned.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LQRD3QQbw

Your chapters of darkness

In history's book:

An offering of caution

That nobody took.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTZQceOTsP

The hatred and lies,

Whole cities' demise:

The people suppressed

By oaths of 'what's best.'

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYYYylJ15M

Sweet Truth on the altars

And Heart in the fires:

What terrible falters

And horrible pyres!

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXsv0hDnWc

Nostalgically gripped

By a golden age passed,

We eagerly flipped

Lost pages at last.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4d617wmLR

The lessons of old

So seldomly told,

If only you knew

How twisted seeds grew!
