A Merry Go Round

A Merry Go Round

A Poem by Adam Thompson
"

I wrote this last year in the back of a notebook... don't remember which class it was from. Probably history.

"
Come on lets go back in time.
Do not worry, it's all fine,
It's really not that hard to go and do.

We both know we're sick of this
All these garbled politics
Which with us have really naught to do

Really now, don't be shy
Lets give it one good try
We really have nothing left to lose

The wheel of time goes round and round
So alike a merry go round
Always coming back to where it just began

So going back is just the same
As going forward again
Ho-now, woah-now

We have no time left to borrow,
To find our way to yestermorrow.
So let's instead give a little back.

Today is but a fig-a-ment,
Of yesterdays prior events.
Nothing is ever really new.

Careful not to look behind.
Cause you mine accidentally find,
Exactly what is coming round the bend

The wheel of time goes round and round
So alike a merry go round
Always coming back to where it just began

So going back is just the same
As going forward again
Ho-now, woah-now.

I took the ferry down the river
And what I found made me shiver
Because it seemed from where I came was now

People arguing, no one stopping
No one thinks to cease talking
And give a lending ear to what they say

So as I sit there surrounded
I try to keep my self grounded
Instead of going up on ignorants balloon.

The wheel of time goes round and round
So alike a merry go round
Always coming back to where it just began

So going back is just the same
As going forward again
Ho-now, woah-now.
