Rumors of War

He sang a tune or two in a one man band
Then hopped a train to a distant and nameless land
And in a boxcar he heard someone say,
‘You can’t take back what you never gave away’.
There are rumors of war; there are holes in the sky
The dead line the roads but no one hears them cry.
The living are throwing stones into an empty well
Their houses are bare; they have nothing left to sell
I hum along to a song that I know and understand
As I trudge toward that distant and nameless land
And in the darkness I hear someone say,
‘You can’t take back what you never gave away’
