A Wide Age of Separation

We've all seen the feelings here

To which all tend to come and go

Upon their exit they bare it all

Laugh so deep without the O's to know



The scratches here can take off years

Without a staple left to keep in check

The sick and sorry bellow wide

While the cheer and cheery move on set



And by all means they are complete

Without one charter to convene

They live on gold with silver lines

And lose their change to lesser kind



It's all in the clutches of the fifty men

Who stand on platforms and defend

Their shields of waste and sludge alike

Will grind to handles in due time



Defeat will come and sully forth

To liberalize the public court

And arrogance will guarantee

That the blame will rest with you and me



And past all have and all we give

We'll remove our limbs and turn them in

After which we'll walk on through

And convince ourselves it's all for truth.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Despite the fact that I completely robbed the rhythm from a Last Shadow Puppets song, I consider this to be my best work in a long time. (There may be more to add).
