Angry River Song

Angry River Song

Just look at me

the mountain cried ..

I’m ten times

more high than that

old river is wide ..

Yes that much is true

and while I have

nothing to hide I just

ebb and I flow

and I rise and fall with

each new tide ..

Well that’s what I’m

led to believe,

the angry river replied ..

Still can you see

how the moon reflects

on the bruised

and broken windows

of both your ego

and your soul and just

how seriously

she does shine so much

brighter now

against your anaemic,

once swollen

snowcapped temples

and all of your

slowly eroding peaks ..

Those that are

now being swept clean

away by all my

very hungry tributaries ..

Each one of them

purposely designed to

gently break

your will and to test

your ruthless

and still rugged integrity ..
