Aching old scars


Aching old scars A happy remorse song we sing A jovial anger melody we all dance Unhappy density and decorated apathy The smarting sore of the past, Sits with the pain until it passes, And will be calmer for the next one Sins of decades casting long shadows, Health dialogue phantom all Intransigence rekindles old wounds Calmly breeding perpetual conflict Without pain, without sacrifice, We would have nothing Nevertheless Let us able to table for DIALOGUE Lest the table able to host us, Together as one Let go of the past, Feast and celebrate Great things Great things that, Never came from comfort zones.
