Mr. Prime Minister (The Last Lion) +4

Kurt Philip Behm

From Winston:

“When youth departs

 —may wisdom prove enough”

 

To Winston:

“When spirit falters

 —all will to then prevail”

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2019)

 

 

Hope Denied

 

When love deceives,

 the heart to bleed,

 its truth an open wound

 

Forever long,

 time’s painful gong,

 rerung with every moon

 

When love deceives,

 on bended knees,

 and lost within the pain

 

All wishes fly,

 with hope denied

 —as emptiness remains

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2019)

 

 

Death's Revenge

 

Today’s gone wild,

 killers on the fringe

 

A life to take, its fate to make,

 tomorrow—death’s revenge

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2019)

 

 

 

No Time Left

 

When love commands

 —there’s precious time left to serve truth

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2019)

 

 

Hearts To Impound

 

What is the difference

 between a fact and the truth

 

One limited in time,

 the other free and unproved

 

Language and formula,

 the great deceivers abound

 

As the light burns inside us

 —our hearts to impound

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2019)
