From whence he came and thither I stood
Waiting, wanting, staring, starting
To understand the helter-scelter
Wierd mysterious wonderful massive
Ideals that stood to be the reason
Of my own thinking and life,
He said he understood me and
He thought he was like me...

Words and words are said
Thoughts are made and ad infinitum
They're covered by noise
Call'd words and fools
Do listen and hear the thoughts
Of we our selves standing hither
And blabbering on about how
Compassionate we are.

A lone town, a barren city, a stage so full of players
All making money off their
Sweet deception.
The age-old cobwebs
dance to the beat
Of hither and thither
the ideas that sound so
Good, but trail
Off as
noise.

A thief will come
A murder will strike
And all will be
Forgotten at
The stage of life
Dark and severe.

"If history is to change, let it change. If the world is to be destroyed, so be it. If my fate is to die, I must simply laugh"

-- Magus

I like this part of it the best! What a great ending for it!

If you define cowardice as running away, tripping and screaming at the first sign of danger, then yes, Mister Brave Man, I guess I am a coward.
