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

190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXxDVvh5pC

The seeds have all grown,

The pages have turned,

Wise kings have all flown,

Their brave castles burned.

190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eKyoggUhD

Your chapters of darkness

In history's book:

An offering of caution

That nobody took.

190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh49xvDKFow

The hatred and lies,

Whole cities' demise:

The people suppressed

By oaths of 'what's best.'

190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomy75aSQNG

Sweet Truth on the altars

And Heart in the fires:

What terrible falters

And horrible pyres!

190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEB0vPrv1IQ

Nostalgically gripped

By a golden age passed,

We eagerly flipped

Lost pages at last.

190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKDdDx6gEU

The lessons of old

So seldomly told,

If only you knew

How twisted seeds grew!
