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

288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDPmNenP0k

The seeds have all grown,

The pages have turned,

Wise kings have all flown,

Their brave castles burned.

288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bXKY8Onrg

Your chapters of darkness

In history's book:

An offering of caution

That nobody took.

288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGll9norpfB

The hatred and lies,

Whole cities' demise:

The people suppressed

By oaths of 'what's best.'

288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Y9xXtIEtO

Sweet Truth on the altars

And Heart in the fires:

What terrible falters

And horrible pyres!

288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KjawUJCMb

Nostalgically gripped

By a golden age passed,

We eagerly flipped

Lost pages at last.

288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2hy7raIyT

The lessons of old

So seldomly told,

If only you knew

How twisted seeds grew!
