Ballad Of The Secret Diary

by

 

Just like you
I can't tell the real threats,
best to fear everyone.
And I can't tell who to love.

Just like me
you give your all for Ceasar
learn all you can
under cover of mechanical seasons
but never get a pardon.

The labouring heart 
that brought us this far
knows only the road
to wisdom is overlong.

just the mention of the word Ceasar reminds of the thirties film 'Little Ceasar'. I also like the undercover of mechanical seasons


Nice one Adam
