The Geese And The Ghost

Collections

All the World's a stage,

A friend of mine, he sometimes said,

And though he tried to show the way,

They only care about his name.


Love is for the Fool,

A blind old man, he always said,

But of it's joys he sometimes spoke

And then it seemed, he could see.


Life is for the Strong,

A travelling monk, he told me once

But of the weak, he never spoke

Though their cries beat on his ears.


I stood my gun in hand

The swallow flew to meet his love

And as they touched, I shot him down

But now it's me that can't fly.
