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

246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqeEyHc7Qo

The seeds have all grown,

The pages have turned,

Wise kings have all flown,

Their brave castles burned.

246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD382ztZILW

Your chapters of darkness

In history's book:

An offering of caution

That nobody took.

246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡau3DrM1KRt

The hatred and lies,

Whole cities' demise:

The people suppressed

By oaths of 'what's best.'

246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpGs3OSJKg

Sweet Truth on the altars

And Heart in the fires:

What terrible falters

And horrible pyres!

246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbo9zMlO2zq

Nostalgically gripped

By a golden age passed,

We eagerly flipped

Lost pages at last.

246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3jgJmjQ8o

The lessons of old

So seldomly told,

If only you knew

How twisted seeds grew!
