With a handful of memories
And a pocket full
Of dreams,
Reality screening
Gearing up to a scream,
Who would have thought
Way back at seventeen
Reversing the numbers
Would be such a different scene.

Holding on to the moon
What else to do ?
The days of the scorching sun
And the whistling wind
Had long passed,
The moon seemed as quiet
As their lives now were,
As cold as their bones
In the late night air,
And all the romance
Of the long love affair,
Danced in their stare
Holding on to the moon.

The idiot fringes
Raced to promote banning
Anything that didn’t fit
Into their narrow minds and vision,
From freedom of speech,
Songs and playlists,
Pronouns and words
To gender classification,
The neocon philosophy
Echoed in jest as its hands
Directed the music
The politically correct,
Neutered mass danced to,
Unaware they were dancing
Closer and closer
Towards the fingers and the grasp
Of the hands
They were trying to run away from.
