i. Sun
I remember. The enchanted English garden Days of summer air and nights The dance of lavenders and cabbage-whites Made more 3D, glowing in the evening long-shadowed sun Nowhere better. But in England, nothing really changes, the weather always does...
ii. The
The gold us The always did The gold took more lives Uranium Plutonium Pandemonium...
The approaches The heavy of the monster... Come to break the weather Come to silence all the singing Tearing up the sky paper White-welding through dark steel of And the release of the rain
The stops us The always did The gold took more lives Uranium Plutonium. Pandemonium. The Gold!
Jet and demolition And the summer finding a lost child
The roads are by many promises of peace And some not to go The f e a r like bravado It did I see waiting, smiling On the borders in mist Or to the world in their upturned boats be free or I'll die trying to be to BE.
iii. Lives
I see myself in The at the borders Waiting to again Brothers, sisters, and daughters our so-called golden streets Running from lives walls
The "haves" and the "have nothings" The accepted and We can't keep letting in We can't letting them in?
The stops us The gold did The gold took more lives than Polonium. Pandemonium.
And as I stand wondering why A man on a smartphone Falls into my pocket the sky Modern Everything is everywhere .'know what I Handy. And obscene.
iv. F E A R
F E A R is everywhere the patio Under the bought and paid-for home Cushions, scented candles and the Mowing to the and the rumble of the coming storm
We all know about the that are raging All the millions who cannot see so much more that binds us than divides us But our f e a r it the papers stir it The colours of the we wave Were and will become blood red
And the madmen all say hear voices God them what to do The are all about money always were And the money's up in religion And when not showing off, the money's hiding.
Something is cooking me... It ready, but already... I'm becoming harder to with Becoming harder to with You say I'm becoming harder to live I'm becoming harder to live But you can't see into my You can't see into my You see into my head
No, you see into my head.
And the are full of weapons That slide by in the Tanks all in yellow mud Pass you on the As you drive by with the and the buckets and spades Days.
v. The of Apes
in the air Brimstone in the Breathe of it The wind is the pictures The rain is the names The wind-chimes in my garden ring keys To all the doors.
We are the of apes, not angels But we are gifted with the eyes to see On days without f e a r, when our heads are That angels, we be.
