Common Ground
A gossamer glance glares through the glass
Now war is waged and this wrath rages
Through your window soul
Seems like now you have set up your wall
Your ivory tower, this Babel soars higher
Burn me down, break up the brands
So cold it will burn your hands
Once over a bower, full-bloomed with fate's flower
A tempest trance snares you in mass
No more are the sacred, the sage's page, plundered for power
Maybe I know, maybe your right
Maybe it's fact, maybe it's flaw
Perhaps we can till together
Such few sound common ground
Perhaps we can till forever
Some new found common ground
Give rise to a new shame, a new flame
Come gather round some common ground
(unfinished)
