The Impartiality of Water (An Ode to the West Seattle Seven)...
Seven stand
At the shore
All are full
All want more
The waves don't care. Splash...Splash
Across the way
The city stares
Our confusion
She will not share
The waves don't care. Splash...Splash
One is bound
ToUncle Sam
One is worried
About the damned
The waves don't care. Splash...Splash
One awaits
For his bride
Three have theirs
By their side
The waves don't care. Splash...Splash
One can't seem
To find his way
Six can't wait
To see the day
The waves don't care. Splash...Splash
On second thought
We all are lost
Slaves to want
Slaves to cost
The waves don't care. Splash...Splash
Seven hearts
Long for home
Where the deer
And 'dillos roam
The waves don't care. Splash...Splash
The one who writes
Has come to learn
Most will leave
And not return
The waves don't care. Splash...Splash
Seven are bound
By God and chance
All have heart
All will dance
The waves don't care. Splash...Splash
Seven stand
At the shore
All are full
All want more
And the waves don't care. Splash...Splash.
