Quote:<\/p>\n

\nDreams fled away, this country bedroom, raw <\/em><\/p>\n

– “Another September” (Kinsella)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Dreams, aye, dreams dreamt by dreamers have fled
\nAnd the dreamer to reality of the day, he has awoken
\nFor Doom, who always in time on time himself he shows
\nAnd Destruction: its Wish it loudly has spoken
\nAnd Man, resists, and resists valiantly in vain
\nBut at least to fight, though losing, puts up a token. <\/em><\/p>\n

The shadows long: they still stalk the walls
\nAs Autumn it slowly to cold winter turns
\nAnd the smoke, dark, as in times long past
\nStreams to the sky as a turf fire burns.
\nLike women: they no longer move
\nJustice, Truth, figures much the same
\nThey seem to be but jesters now
\nAnd the people of the house part of their game.<\/p>\n

The shadows pay not homage to those before
\nAnd the shadows mock all we have become
\nThey mock those on whom they cast the Shadow
\nAnd they mock the hardships those are from
\nYet man resists, and dreams of better days
\nWhen women were fierce and feared when scorned
\nThey does the scorning today: Ladies, Justice and Truth
\nAnd by the fleeting light man was warned.<\/p>\n

The dreams, they into the shadows have fled
\nAnd the nightmare continues when man is awake
\nAs the home within which the seasons shadows cast their shapes
\nOthers, who count coins, they threaten to take
\nLike the landlords of long before: the bankers today
\nCast families on streets for the love of moneys sake.<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
