Time is a Place
The lines that I read on their heads
Made me ill
Saw today
Heard yesterday
Made me wonder
Did they throw out their souls
By mistake
In the dumpster
Or use a brand new fine broom to
Sweep it up with the duster
Those who won't learn history
Are doomed to rhyme it
Did they not hear Galileo say
And yet it moves?
And the fools will line up
to tell them they're kind
And they don't even try
To find their own minds
This is so much bigger than me!
Can't you hear the song of canaries?
If I sound angry
I offer no apology
I feel grey and I'm blue
Apologist you
How can you watch and say nothing?
Go back to your Chamber, Lynn
And snivel away
The only way forward
is first to go back
We remember!
Guide those perplexed
Or else we'll be next
We remember!
We do hold infinity
In each grain of sand
We remember!
And the one who commands
Must travel
Time's lands
We remember!
Please remember
Made me ill
Saw today
Heard yesterday
Made me wonder
Did they throw out their souls
By mistake
In the dumpster
Or use a brand new fine broom to
Sweep it up with the duster
Those who won't learn history
Are doomed to rhyme it
Did they not hear Galileo say
And yet it moves?
And the fools will line up
to tell them they're kind
And they don't even try
To find their own minds
This is so much bigger than me!
Can't you hear the song of canaries?
If I sound angry
I offer no apology
I feel grey and I'm blue
Apologist you
How can you watch and say nothing?
Go back to your Chamber, Lynn
And snivel away
The only way forward
is first to go back
We remember!
Guide those perplexed
Or else we'll be next
We remember!
We do hold infinity
In each grain of sand
We remember!
And the one who commands
Must travel
Time's lands
We remember!
Please remember
