To A Teacher
Ton : FEnglish
Intro :
C
HCurt once and for all into silence
AC long pain ending without a song to prove it
Who could stand besiFde you so close to Eden
WFhen you glinted in every eye the held-high
razor shiCvering every ram and son?
ACnd now the silent loony bin where
TChe shadows live in the rafters like day-weary bats
UFntil the turning mind a radar signal lures them to exaggerate
MCountain-size on the white stone wall
YGour tiny limp C
HFow can I leave you in such a house?
AFre there no more saints and wizards to praise their ways with pupils
NCo more evil to stun with the slap of a wet red tongue?
DGid you confuse the Messiah in a mirror
and rest because he had finally coCme?
Let me crFy help beside you Teacher
IF have entered under this dark roof
As fearlesslCy as an honoured son enters his father's house
