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

37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwrAcUIgN2

The seeds have all grown,

The pages have turned,

Wise kings have all flown,

Their brave castles burned.

37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UT3kuugod

Your chapters of darkness

In history's book:

An offering of caution

That nobody took.

37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLagXsahBD

The hatred and lies,

Whole cities' demise:

The people suppressed

By oaths of 'what's best.'

37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7NKf201Xk

Sweet Truth on the altars

And Heart in the fires:

What terrible falters

And horrible pyres!

37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYySDQtplbg

Nostalgically gripped

By a golden age passed,

We eagerly flipped

Lost pages at last.

37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiDFonotT4

The lessons of old

So seldomly told,

If only you knew

How twisted seeds grew!
