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

248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXokuGWFU7

The seeds have all grown,

The pages have turned,

Wise kings have all flown,

Their brave castles burned.

248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpSq4ZavMh

Your chapters of darkness

In history's book:

An offering of caution

That nobody took.

248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUDQPZbfd5

The hatred and lies,

Whole cities' demise:

The people suppressed

By oaths of 'what's best.'

248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgA2EwZBc1

Sweet Truth on the altars

And Heart in the fires:

What terrible falters

And horrible pyres!

248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksibhaeayl

Nostalgically gripped

By a golden age passed,

We eagerly flipped

Lost pages at last.

248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOPLGNDhR0

The lessons of old

So seldomly told,

If only you knew

How twisted seeds grew!
