One Ping

to get it so wrong
to be so weak
and yet seem so strong
for yellows and blues
may a new dawn greet you
and the reds whites and blues
the burden’s on you's
to believe it's right
to do such wrong
more stubborn men
here we go again
how’s this one gonna end
is it easier to be an enemy or a friend
and the hour is late
for the man [sowing/making] hate
invade my neighbor’s estate
burn up his barndoor and backyard
forcing westward hordes
to the exit doors
the great escape
from their own own estate
many thought our world was past this point
high over the poles
we’ll listen to their rock and roll
and there’s only one thing
that can lesson this sting
a single ping…
