The Fiddler
September 28th, 2007 Posted 9:47 pm
The fiddler is playing
His sorrowful tune
Under the willow tree
By the old lagoon
He’s tired of hearing
The same old song
To illustrate life
As it goes along
And changing the melody
Does nothing to affect
The state of affairs
Of worldly defect
Instead it heightens
A need for lament
In a world that is empty
Except for blood and cement
Heroes are gone
Along with the bards
Their stories are buried
In empty stockyards
Along with those people
Who died in a war
Not really sure
What they were fighting for
All those lost souls
Whose fortune resides
In shady dealings
To save their own hides
And all these things
Can’t be found in a song
Because writing of problems
Takes too damn long
The fiddler sits
Under the willow tree
Crying for the suicide
Of the future world to be
