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

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TUv3yadJR

The seeds have all grown,

The pages have turned,

Wise kings have all flown,

Their brave castles burned.

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb20rS3W31L

Your chapters of darkness

In history's book:

An offering of caution

That nobody took.

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUeDm7iR5H

The hatred and lies,

Whole cities' demise:

The people suppressed

By oaths of 'what's best.'

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGZabPjBMr

Sweet Truth on the altars

And Heart in the fires:

What terrible falters

And horrible pyres!

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGofWYo217

Nostalgically gripped

By a golden age passed,

We eagerly flipped

Lost pages at last.

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSTSdhmP3L

The lessons of old

So seldomly told,

If only you knew

How twisted seeds grew!
