Re: The headline was what pulled me in.....

I do not think they are here for you my friend,

they have been waiting

longer and longer still

and the end is near

thats why you smell the flesh

of man

thats why you hear the cry

of children

in the soul

of man

and still the people stand

and cheer

I never understand how

people just stand and cheer

I never understand how

they

can stand the smell

of flesh

burning

and know

the end is near

and just stand and cheer-

they have not come for you my friend

nor are they here for me

there has been a body count

and we are not in

we have been spared

the poets

are just cursed that way

to have the gift of hearing the sounds

of the spirits

that hound

and howl

we can only wait

we have no escape

I really wish I could tell you better

but at least you now know

that they have not come for you

they have not come for you

the poets are spared

we are just cursed that way

I wish I had better news

keep your heart and your ears

towards peace

it is always possible

I wish I had better news
