But should they not, then may at least my Muse<br>

I carry a Mills grenade in my right hand<br />

Life pulled the pin from it a while ago<br />
<br />
Without my wavering grip, it will explode<br />
<br />
My flesh and blood to scatter where I stand<br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">where the pain may be sharp but will also be short</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">But the feeling that comes when a city surrenders</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">and it opens its gates to let enemies in</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">and to let all control and all power march out</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Oh, it is hard to surrender your defences and walls</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Throw yourself at the mercy of the conquering foe</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Let the young try to escape with their meagre posessions</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Leaving behind the old, with their pride and obsessions</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Now the drums of the victors can be heard getting near</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Like the beat of our hearts as they race, filled with fear.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I sit in the carriage of a Liverpool train</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It now canters along, past the wood and the flashes</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In a clearing I see of bonfires the ashes</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Then it gathers speed, being Liverpool-bound</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Out of Wigan a train and my heart, rattled, pound</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">and my thoughts in my head swirling round and around</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">All the fear, the shame, the mistrust of the future</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The regrets of the past, that invisible vulture</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">All the fear, the shame, the foresaken illusions</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The expectations not met and the wrong contributions</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">With the pen I have borrowed I scribble some lines:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Will they help me in my journey and arrest my decline?</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px;">My life just flashed before my eyes</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px;">Stripped of all clever disguise</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px;">The day out there looks jolly nice:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">of a full moon in a cloudless night</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">when every star was there to witness</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">my certain death: oh, I was short of fitness! -</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">and of skill. Only my heart was greater,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">but of that fact I would learn later.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Now I've slained my foe, an empty feeling</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">comes over me as daybreak finds me kneeling - </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Neither in thanks nor to proclaim God's glory,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">just to recall the fight and craft a story:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">for when I see my foe I realise</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">the corpse is me - Victory my demise.</span><br />

y aún más a mis amigos.<br />
<br />
Pintaré de blanco las paredes<br />
y de rojo los tejados.<br />
Barreré los rincones de mi mundo,<br />
incluso los más remotos y olvidados.<br />
<br />
¿Cuándo sera? No lo sé - <br />
Cuando el corazón alce vuelo<br />
Como una linterna china<br />
y mi sangre sepa dulce como infantil golosina<br />
y mis ojos miren claro <br />
con sus lentes bifocales.<br />
Cuando lea los periódicos<br />
- pero sólo los locales.<br />
<br />
<br />
