POSTERS ON THE WALL

our band's legacy
painted out from memory
times i now recall
from the posters on the wall

hitch a ride out of reality
suddenly the mind is carefree
filling it the music we made
against it all else will fade
for now the feeling is lost
missing the message to be brought across
still the optimism to get better
as from the posters the memories i gather

all these years time has passed
yet not one moment gone too fast
all encased in picture frames
none of those sent up in flames
love, drugs and booze all gone
so my soul within withdrawn
desperately wanting , hoping for more
terribly draining, is no one taking score?

our history as of a soldier
lost, lonely and forgotten
contributions stale with odour
medals of honour all turned rotten
of power and weapons to disarm
this of all causes the most harm
all that we held dear is left behind
posters on the wall help me un-blind.

because we were the best
others looked to us for inspiration
yet then we couldn't care less
greed only challenged by desperation
selfishness screaming out loud
compromise an order far too tall
now a band great and proud
reduced all but to some posters on the wall

our band's legacy
painted out from memory
times i now recall
from the posters on the wall.
