Atlantis will rise again

FredPeyer

you will never

be understood

you will never

understand

the alligator knows

more than you do

while the moon soaks up

humanity’s insanity

you cannot run

you cannot hide

not in this lifetime

not in the next

 

you play the game

think you are winning

while London sleeps

Paris makes love

and Rome sings

you don’t know

the game is rigged

somebody will lose

that somebody is you

you cannot win

not in this lifetime

not in the next

 

all you have left

is insane hope

he who believes

in the unicorn

and Santa Claus

is comforted by lies

Atlantis will rise again

you will make love

to beautiful mermaids

one dream only allowed

in this lifetime

and the next

    My dream passed last year but I will be with her once more in the next lifetime.

      A fine write Fred.
      I never enjoy Christmas Day. Me lounge is always full of soot. Some fat bloke in a red and whit coat and hat always comes down me chimney Christmas night! I spend all day cleaning up me lounge. Doh!

        Maybe if you give him cookies and milk he will clean up after himself!

        I agree that alligators know so much but ... boy does their dress code let them down.... a bit flashy all that alligator hide.

        • FredPeyer

          Yep, d a, that's why we have all these alligator shoes and handbags!
