21st century is gone and dead we’re all just living inside our heads look at all the people here today gone tomorrow and no one’s left to feel no sorrow I’m on my nerves I’ve learned the beat path well And all the work of violent men Keep me inside my cell Don’t step so lightly Love is flowers Raining thorns Let the blood run Through your horns Roots of madness Clinging ghosts Angry angels Claim their hosts It’s the day of the wedded dead And the J.O.P. is in my head Be my ghost Let’s make the most It’s the end of eternity My ears are severed My fingers are levers On a board of destruction Pull down one finger And the bombs will boom Watch the four star generals Run out of the room When the missile explodes The silly string will flow And the world population Will want to know Why we didn’t tie dye our brains down when we were still in love look up and see what’s coming from above! |

"Roots of madness Clinging ghosts Angry angels Claim their hosts" Oh my, Walt ... a very poignant piece, full of amazing phrases, very much enjoyed! ![]() Best wishes, /Kit |

cool lines... "Be my ghost Let’s make the most It’s the end of eternity" "Will want to know Why we didn’t tie dye our brains down when we were still in love look up and see what’s coming from above!" i like these thoughts, they stir up so much. well done. |

It seems lonely and desolate when there are no people. |
