. A heavy sadness Hangs over the water While in the distance alone A pheasant calls School has been out For quite some time So no one should pretend He or she wouldn’t know Being too good For any imagined god or love Spending money getting laid As alternatives fulfilled Our glorious hours Now all those years Will go as well On book shelves Along silent corridors Akin the darkened catacombs Of Rome . |

I read this several times and still wonder if I've deciphered the meaning . . . we are going the way of Rome? at any rate, it's a great read that gives one pause! R |

A heavy sadness Hangs over the water While in the distance alone A pheasant calls a lone pheasant meaning something is becomeing obsolete School has been out For quite some time So no one should pretend He or she wouldn’t know mankind is not at all moving forward intellectually and all the way around Being too good For any imagined god or love Spending money getting laid As alternatives fulfilled Our glorious hours actaully waisting our time, becoming lazy individualists Now all those years Will go as well On book shelves Along silent corridors just like the great shelves of anchient Alexandria Akin the darkened catacombs Of Rome the underground graves of Rome call up to us...and we're deaf amazing write |

. Thank you, I wanted to leave an ambivalence in this in that the real regardless sadness may lie in, whatever, the party being eventually over . . . Thanks again John |
