Muse I 2007

Muse I.

Wars, fighting, bleeding
death, mayhem
distruction, grieving

craziness
whether purposeful
or faking it

till you make it.
Greed machine
moves trillions.

Fear, numbness
resignation rules
weighing down many

minds and hearts
the selling of souls
takes its toll.

Enter the Muses
USO
traveling show

girls, free beers, laughs
Bob Hope?
big bands blast

past tears in eyes
tears in skin, wounded
beyond sight.

Back home they’re
working at keeping it
all going

going out Saturday nites
fine tuning TV
Ipod minds, NOT Musing!

going, going, gone
so nobody knows
anymore
not even you
what trouble
you’ve seen.
