Crimson
flames tied through my ears

Rollin'
high and mighty traps...

Pounced
with fire on flaming roads

Using
i-deas as my maps...

"We'll
meet on edges, soon said," I,

Proud

Ah,
but I was so much older then

I'm
young-er than that now.
Half-wracked
prejudice leaped forth,
"Rip
down all hate," I screamed,
Lies
that life is black and white
Spoke
from my skull I dreamed.
Romantic
facts of musketeers
Foundationed
deep, somehow,
Ah,
but I was so much older then,
I'm
younger than that now.
Girl's
faces formed the forward path
From
phony jealousy,
To
memorizing politics
Of
ancient history.
Flung
down by corpse evangelist
Unthought
of, though, somehow,
Ah,
but I was so much older then,
I'm
younger than that now.
A
self-ordained professor's tongue
Too
serious to fool
Spouted
out that liberty
Is
just equality in school.
"Equality,"
I spoke the word
As
if a wedding vow
Ah,
but I was so much older then,
I'm
younger than that now.
In
a soldier's stance I aimed my hand
At
the mongrel dogs who teach
Fearing
not that I'd become my enemy
In
the instant that I preach.
My
pathway led by confusion boats
Mutiny
from stern to bow
Ah,
but I was so much older then,
I'm
younger than that now.
Yes,
my guards stood hard when abstract threats
Too
noble to neglect
Deceived
me into thinking
I
had something to protect.
Good
and bad, I define these terms
Quite
clear, no doubt, somehow,
Ah,
but I was so much older then,
I'm
younger than that now.
