By Wetdryvac

Scattered Resistance V1 - Childhood Waning is the early poetry of the Wetdryvac, from 1979 to 1992. It covers a wide range of topics, almost all reflective, from nuclear war to investment in cats.

Once Again

1990

take a look around my friend

for all of this

will never be again

the green is gone

the fire's nigh

the blacken'd clouds

now choke the sky

we've had our chance

it's thrown away

no time you see

for our dismay

the chance we had

we took too long

another look

and in the smoke, it's gone

and though it's night

up in the sky

there's light

too late... my friend

the fire's nigh

hot winter's night

this time... we die

Implications

to follow what I've seen?

or will you try
