RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: LIFE SONGS
Fallen Souls
Remember when the end of time
Was an amusing notion?
Remember we pretended that
Love came in a potion?
Little did we know that we
Would live to see revealed
The end of everything we love
The secrets we concealed
We are not evil people
We are not fallen souls
We have lost something sacred
We need to make us whole
We look back with rueful fondness
On the days that came before
Before the darkness, before the storm,
Before the latest war
We wish we could go back there
Before it all began
To when we were the chosen
The leaders of the band
We are not ill-intentioned
We’re not without our charm
We never wanted hurtful things
We did not wish you harm
Those days that we remember
Were not the way they seem
The days of simple innocence
They happened in a dream
Where everyone was happy
Where no one went to war
Where everyone we knew
Shopped at the local store
We are not evil people
We are not fallen souls
We have lost something sacred
We need to make us whole
