Springtime


She came to me in the Springtime

Though I’d seen her face before

Like a light into the darkness

She always left me wanting more

 

Her vibrancy and beauty

Not so easy to ignore

Takes me back to my childhood

When I loved her even more

 

But still they violate her

In so many different ways

They crawl for banker’s money

As they dig their children’s graves

 

And now they bring this madness

Back inside the USA

They want to carve her up

In a thousand different ways

 

To those who have no connection

To leave her so exposed

You’ve lost all sense of reason

As your life comes to a close

 

She’ll fight back before you kill her

And the animals will too

So for those still uncommitted

It’s now time for you to choose

 

She still comes to me in Springtime

Though she doesn’t always stay

As now I know her well enough

There is nothing much to say

And here we soon have winter
Down in the land below
A police state of drunken fools
Awareness quite shallow

We hope for many changes
But are sprayed and distracted
Most just want to afford a home
While many freedoms are compacted

So bring the chill and the cold
To the ones that keep on judging
And wait to plant the springtime seeds
For the youth who see the fudging

Yes Patrick, even in springtime I can't help but feel the winter of empire and its cold and callous ways used to maintain control at all costs.
