Bandwagon

Dr Abe V Rotor

When all’s mum that nothing is wrong,
Like the stillness of a clear stream,
In the comfort of bed and a throng
In the idleness of song and dream.

When all says, “yes” in their wagon
Rolling on with the band, the more
The doldrums deafens into a storm
Beyond the sight of any harbor.

In books and in stars are written,
Truth’s not seen when newly sown;
Like words of fire from one brave pen,
Break the night with the light of dawn.
