a place to lean

the cry of freedom's clarion call
drifts like seedlings in autumn's breeze
it's heard by few, ignored by all
a certain sound of clarity

as busy is as busy does
and those who go will so do
while less remember that which was
with lives of regret and sorrow too

'tis not discord that fills the land
but chords of apathy are heard
not sighs to be loosed from heavy bands
as long as we can walk within our herds

ask not what I can do, 'tis what I mean
just find me a place where I can lean

tabme,
exactly...he admits (tongue in cheek)

Ida,
and the sad truth is, you are so right

yann,
sadness, perhaps, but disappointment mostly
