The Bold and the Brave Vs. the Brave and the Bold.

I guess I should be pleased with our progress,

but baby, it's just not me.

Like dry skin in an old cast,

i'm itching to be seen.





Maybe miners were right all along;

and there's gold in the hills,

and we can find a peace hidden

inside a dark tomb,

though it seems the rocks

will give us no room.





So we will hack away,

at our chains, at the hills

trapped in the shadow of hearts

the faint smell of daffodils

fills her womb.



Another mother.

There is none other.



They should have never let her.

write that letter;

all was told

about the brave and the bold,

But the bold and the brave

traded their souls and gave

their love to the grave.

And as you can see,

we are neither you nor me,

but back at the beginning.



I should be pleased with our progress,

but baby,

we will just start over anyway.
