[Diana in Wisconsin]

(From, ‘Late Lament’)

Cold hearted orb that rules the night,
Removes the colours from our sight.
Red is grey and yellow white.
But we decide which is right.
And which is an illusion?

When I was a teen, I couldn’t get ENOUGH of this unadulterated schlock. Thanks for the memories! :)

Lol. Same for me. But not schlock...beautiful poetry. :)

[Fiji Hill]

Cold-hearted orb that rules the night,
Removes the colors from our sight.
Red is gray and yellow white.
But we decide which is right.
And which is an illusion?

Anyone who thinks these lyrics are schlock should compare them with the lyrics of "Rockstar", the obscenity-laced gang- and drug culture-extolling song that currently tops the Billboard Hot 100.
