A fire set that none can snuff.
Nor the rain calm
As you became engulfed.
The sirens will wale,
The people will fail,
And all will know, that a glint of fire was once enough.
I see the smoke.
That crawled out your gun.
Though the trigger pressed,
The children did not run.
Laughter billowed out of each of their lungs.
They did not fear you,
So your head was hung.
I see the oak tree,
With it's roots carved in the ground.
Though they twisted & pulled,
There was no water to be found.
The pillars of branches stood in decay,
With only a nest where a sparrow once lay.
I don't know if it's likely to happen.
But, it's just a dream I've been having.

Interesting. Is it symbolic of America? That's how I, at first, took it. A few further reads and I realized that this can apply to a lot of different things. It sounds prophetic, but of what?
Well, there are a few verses that I wrote that I feel are for America, but I didn't put those up. I feel that they can apply to several things, but I'm don't necessarily think they are prophetic. :)
i love the first line.
Thank you. :)
By the way, other people do Bob Dylan waaaaay better than Bob Dylan does Bob Dylan. Sorry girl, it's a scientific fact.
Oh my, I don't think I've ever heard such blasphemy in my long life. Bob Dylan is a genius, but those words out of any other mouth is not as good. His voice is like sweet honey. Ok that's a lie, but still. :)
Never heard such blasphemy? Well then! You should read my book titled "Further Blasphemies". There's a sweet chapter in there on your boy Steve Nash. It's called "The Eternal Sissy".
You'll love it
You, my friend, are just sprinting to hell. What do you have against Steve Nash? Jealous much? I hope you're watching tonight when Nash & his leprechaun mullet beat the crap out of the devil's special little helpers (the spurs.)
i wasn't aware that being a steve nash fan was a matter of salvation.
anyway, i have nothing right now. just need a moment of silence for the Suns...it doesn't look good.
Yeah me too. :(
I love my music mix by the way, I listen to it often.
