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

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78n3rGm7fU

The seeds have all grown,

The pages have turned,

Wise kings have all flown,

Their brave castles burned.

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnNWpOESTD

Your chapters of darkness

In history's book:

An offering of caution

That nobody took.

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK64GttCKnr

The hatred and lies,

Whole cities' demise:

The people suppressed

By oaths of 'what's best.'

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPw1CgJOpv

Sweet Truth on the altars

And Heart in the fires:

What terrible falters

And horrible pyres!

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6c8mxrAnR

Nostalgically gripped

By a golden age passed,

We eagerly flipped

Lost pages at last.

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYdNCyrXPz

The lessons of old

So seldomly told,

If only you knew

How twisted seeds grew!
