When it All Boils Down to Bad Men and Fools

Neville

When it All Boils Down to Bad Men and Fools

 

Run, darling run

when you

can no longer fly ..

There are

bodies that burn

and there is

death in the sky ..

Run, darling run

when you

can no longer hide ..

All the bad

men are coming

and so too

are the fools ..

Run, darling run

when you

can no longer cry ..

When all

the oceans are

boiling but

your tears have

run dry ..

Run, darling run

since we

are no longer free ..

Trust nothing

and no one my son ..

While there

may still be sheep

in our once

green meadows ..

Remember

each one of their

shadows,

belongs to the wolves ..

        Poetic noir if ever I've encountered it, Neville.
        Don't give me much chance of a bedtime (coming very soon) with the prospect of sweet dreams, do you?

          Baa-woof. Or baa-hoowwwlll.
          I'm a wolf in sheep's clothing.
          Or a sheep in wolf's clothing?
          I could be anything, even mutant giant hamster, as some suppose from my pic! lol.
          A wolf doesn't go 'woof' does it? lol.

          • Neville



            Don't you get any big ideas, you are a rodent and that's the end of the matter okay

                  Don't know why it sounded so scary even though it's the reality.

                      Nightmares can easily turn into reality. Dark, foreboding and scary. My adrenalin is pumping. Your lines are lyrical Neville. I was reminded of that old song the Eve of Destruction. The loss of freedom …..

                      • Neville



                        Now you come to mention it .. I can make out the very same tune .. spooky or wot .. N 🙂
