new things written...

The disapproval writ on his face

I said, You're much too young to be stuck in your ways

Having trouble keeping pace

With your fast talking stories

and glorious claims

Show me your purple heart

Tell me the tales behind your battle scars

You can only lie but so far

Those untrained hands will shoot wide of the mark

I said, one if by land

And two if by sea

An army of cowards

To rescue me

One, if by land

Two, if by sea

And shame for the one

Who makes a fool out of me

When dawn broke the window

And shattered the glass

I woke with a start

And waited in bed

I loathed all the witnesses

chanting their chords

Try harder. Be Better.

And give us some more.

I said, one if by land

And two if by sea

An army of cowards

To rescue me

One, if by land

Two, if by sea

And shame for the one

Who makes a fool out of me
