Think

The people are running

Far away

Crying dying alive today

The fire is burning

They’ll die today

Buildings crumbling

You’ll die today



The flag is waving

Last salute

At half mast

And a single flute

And as the fire’s burning

the buildings down

in the union’s last hurrah

and the people are running

and the child is crying

alone in the corner

of the bathroom

with the broken sink

and the statesmen and heretics

sleep and dream

We all need time to think
