Thoughts make up the pages The page contains the thought Burning for the winds of changes But that wind will feed the fire Ash to ash - stories ending Dust to dust - flakes ascending Burn debris burn - the breath of writers Choke on smoke - freedom fighters In order to deny the story The story must be read To judge if harm can be inflicted You must inflict the harm Ash to ash - innocence lost Dust to dust - this is the cost Censoring truth - leftovers buried In our minds - still residing In retrospect There's plenty left To tell the facts behind the lies Put sound to every pantomime Imperative Should not outlive The modal verbs of humbleness The what if, maybe and I guess Still trapped beneath The boulders of authority Whispered phrases dodging Immature publicity Every aspect covered Except the danger Of airborne phonetics Hitting the tympanic The long lost written words The long lost written words Spoken out loud If regressive new ideas must vanish The idea is still regress The pureness of the soul in danger The danger is the soul Ash to ash - lives are ending Dust to dust - flakes ascending Heinrich Heine - your words still echo Lost and found - author unknown Author unknown
