The Pen is Mightier than the Sword

I'll make this one easy.

 

When the sun goes down, and the clouds all frown,

Night has begun for the sunset.

See it with your eyes, Earth's re-energized,

By the sun's rays everyday.

Take a look out there, planets everywhere.

 

When the sun goes down, and the clouds all frown,

Night has begun for the sunset.

Shadows on the ground, never make a sound,

Fading away in the sunset.

Night has now become day for everyone.

 

I can see it all, from this great height,

I can feel the sun, slipping out of sight.

And the world still goes on, through the night.

Moody Blues: Days of Future Past is the album came out in '67.

Song title is "Evening: The Sun Set: Twilight Time "

 

Probably one of the more significant albums of the sixties. Nights in White Satin ruled the jukeboxes in the cafeteria at school.

 

Here is mine:

 

The minstrel in the gallery looked down upon the

smiling faces.

He met the gazes --- observed the spaces between the

old men's cackle.

He brewed a song of love and hatred --- oblique

suggestions --- and he waited.

He polarized the pumpkin-eaters --- static-humming

panel-beaters --- freshly day-glow'd factory cheaters

(salaried and collar-scrubbing).

He titillated men-of-action --- belly warming, hands

still rubbing on the parts they never mention.

He pacified the nappy-suffering, infant-bleating

one-line jokers --- T.V. documentary makers

(overfed and undertakers).

Sunday paper backgammon players --- family-scarred

and women-haters.

Then he called the band down to the stage and he

looked at all the friends he'd made.

 

The minstrel in the gallery looked down on the

rabbit-run.

And threw away his looking-glass - saw his face in

everyone.
