Footsteps echo in the cluttered Halls of Mind
Bounce and Reverbrate, somehow find the space
To echo on forever, sounds of previous pace
Of life's Past and often not our own
But Race's memory---- thoughts on loan
From history of Man's attempt to live
History of Man's attempt to give----
Something fit to live in Memory
Personal trauma lives again as plaintive cry
Sings on again as tragedy of Friend and Foe ally
To belie the difference
Sweetest Sounds of Loved Ones fill the space
Gentle, loud and loving, fuel the race
To loving Oneness
Harshly Humming Hatred hired the Hall
Batters Walls of Peace erected after Fall
From Harmony to Life
Visions clear of that Old Movie
Pictures quaint that once were groovie
Cast into the Dustbin of the Decade
Images of Hate we see
That Wickedness should surely be
Cast into the Dustbin of the Decade
Images of Hope we see
Light to surely set us free
From being cast into the Dustbin of the Decade
Footsteps echo in the cluttered Halls of Mind
Compete---- now loud, now soft, now excited to find
A resting place in recess---- hideyhole
Hidden cave from which to hone the Soul
Of Listening Man
