| Rejection © Copyright George Papavgeris, April 2008 I've seen the light go out from lovers' eyes As daily care would take its toll I've seen the heroes climb the pedestal Only to stumble and to fall I wasted so much time Looking for answers on the breeze Now I know better, I don't want any part of this. I've seen the horror on a mother's face Holding a bloated hungry child It seemed another time, another place And yet I felt myself defiled I wasted so much time Missing the wood for all the trees If this is progress I don't want any part of this. And good intentions I have had a few To make the world a better place But though I shared the dream with others, too We thought we could control the pace But lost each other in the race I've seen the face behind the razor wire Accused for accident of birth And those who put them there around a fire Swapping their stories full of mirth I wasted so much time Turning the cheek and saying "please" If this is justice I don't want any part of this. I've seen the rubble and the towers fall I felt the anger and the pain And I have heard the patriotic call Wanting to do the same again I wasted so much time Trusting the ones who held the keys If this is freedom I don't want any part of this. And good intentions I have had a few To make the world a better place But though I shared the dream with others, too We thought we could control the pace But lost each other in the race I've seen the dark and dingy alleyways Selling the needlefuls of hope I rode with joy down countless motorways That only faster make the slope I wasted so much time Believing ignorance was bliss If this is the future I don't want any part of this. So for tomorrow let this be your guide One thing to learn from this old fool The things you need you'll find them all inside No need to be some other's tool I wasted so much time Thinking to teach when I should learn Now you know better Your rights are only what you earn. |
