Oh where have
You been?
April your lips I have found
Your whispering voice
Echoes through the emptying streets
Of this town
Your shifting feet
Echoes through these trees
——-
And I saw
I saw it all fall
The world that we built
All that we had invested
Burned right in front of us
Is it enough
To keep us warm
When the winter comes?
How many ?
How many ?
——
The Joker dances in the streets
The street worker moves to the internet
The trees let go of all that they are holding
The grass grows
And it doesn’t consider us
The ocean crashes in
Whether or not I’m there to perceive it
——
And I wonder
Whether
They build their guns
They build their ships
They scheme their games
Building us up
Just to cut us down
——
Will our blood flood the empty streets
Whether we hold our breath
And pray for the rain ….
Will you even remember my name
——-
Hurl your banners
Your worst fear
April
You’re here
Now tell me my worth
Tell me my name
I’ve tasted your lips
Now show me the cards
Tell me your name….
Tell me the prophecy
Tell me
Who sketches the heart of this wasteland
——-
And in the valley
In kitchen
In the mountains
In hospital bed
In the living room
The rich
And the fallen
The guilty
The innocent
April turns her face
And we all hide our tears from this place ….
