Here Hear
I heard a scholar saying
that English men have died
and when we start complaining
we've lose the sense of pride
Here hear the sadness
The dictionary cries
I told him he was madness
his tongue was draped in fib
yet all I feel is sadness
when he goes off that glib
Here hear the sadness
The English word is lost
I strive to cast some sense in
an outrage to the host
but all I said was has been
and all my words were ghosts
Here hear the sadness
The pen is left to die
I left him in that booth
waving hands awry
I knew he spoke the truth
but I'll write till I'm dry
Here hear the sadness
written by the dead
