spirit in the dark
The Rise and Fall of All
In beginning land before fishman
we crawled on sand using fin for feet
only to find we were the menu plan
for faster stronger meaner meat
then dark matter died the dinosaur
comets cleaved the cloud
the big and bad became manure
as the quiet replaced the loud
though tooth and claw still the law
since eating the apple of truth
we now ride so high we’re heading for fall
unless we can salvage our youth
cuz round it goes from win to lose
for peoples, cities, lands
when we poor fools fail to chose
the right and grand in am
