Tell Me a Story
Now Give me war I care not for peace I want the dark of night and a victim’s grief Show me anguish and suffering and hate Tell me a story to which I cannot relate Tell me Overshadow my suffering with the protagonist’s lies Of terror and worry and pain when one dies I want to see a life so much worse than my own Try to make mine hollow and take away my ‘alone’ A story Moanings and cursings and gore and blood Please, just for once, let emotion to flood I want it to rain and fill the streets with tears Take me from these moments, months, wasted years I should Try and show me something I don’t already know Impress me and strike me and give me a show I put to each storyteller a task: I want to cry and to yell and to never, never laugh Not hear |
