YESTERDAY'S MEMORIAL
be paved sea to shining sea with more stonecold memorials left by strangers, fathers, mothers? so much, from within and without; one war after another, no doubt looking forward, watching backs Our pockets are targets to fleece. Always one heartache after another, since men fought brother to brother. No, it seems, not this throng. Oil, hate, morals, fanatics, a manger, everyone's kids grow up in danger. with love words to each other? Listen, gossip becomes history, and truth lies buried in mystery. We talk. Do you vote or are you smitten by some true value or handsome liar? Who was it said we didn't start this fire? Enough cold memorials that hurt forever. I need your fire more now than ever with no partings, no goodbyes. Of a few good men, I give you your due. You've loved me, held me, been true blue. So let me state my love again anew. but often, alone, another decent man dies. Memorials enough, let love memorialize. Our soft hearts embrace, don't criticize. |
