Look look the straw dog is barking once again
God knows that it's bark, it's no worse than it's bite
And we wonder can we just make it tonight
Maybe army crawl through the fury of the wind
Crawl into the foxhole, and find God within
and to make matters worse, the bombs are falling
and no-one can hear, the radio calling
and it
calls out

Mayday mayday everyone
the light ain't falling from the sun
and someday we willl all burn out
and find out what this life was all about.

*Cries* I've missed you Alex! And I'm so pissed for not updating my poetry site, I'm still thinking whether I should keep the site, and if ever I do continue putting up my poems online I'm going to show the site to a few of you.

This is a lovely poem, but I just want to ask for clarifications on this part:
"God knows that it's bark, it's no worse than it's bite"
-- It is bark, or the bark of the straw dog? I think I'm going crazy again!

But I loved it, it reminds me of an awesome song where the band members scream "Mayday!"

Hope to talk to you soon!!!

Wow, this one was really good. It's a lot grittier than your usual stuff. (if grittier is a word...?) Anyway, this is awesome.
