Flavia2112 Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 ALMOST EVERY NIGHTI wonder what’s happening tonight I wonder what’s happening tonightAre the rebels putting up a good fightAre they screaming into the dark nightIs somebody feeling the painDo they wish they’d not screamed out the nameWould she lie for the brunt of the blameOr a shout, a push, tail-turn, then fameI wonder what’s happening tonight I wonder what’s happening tonightAre the protestors left, doing rightPutting back up what’s left of the fightAre the cops smashing down the oppressedAre they confident their ways are bestHas the one who began it confessedDoes he think that she’s being a pestIs there hatred and ill willIs curfew only in films I wonder if it happens untilthey all hope that it’s happening stillIs there a one lane bridge around here Are they fed on lies and fearIs the end of this fight drawing nearIsn’t life elementary, dearI wonder what’s happening here I wonder what’s happening hereWould my best comrade teach me to shoutWould an oracle dream help me outIs in their minds a shadow of doubtAnd how many want a cop out?

Fridge Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Well there's loads of Rush references in there that are pretty obvious...if you posted this on a non-Rush board then it's hardly surprising no one would have got them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My parents didn't get it. My English teacher didn't get it. My Rush-obsessed brother didn't even get it. So I posted the poem here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flavia2112 Posted August 17, 2020 Author Share Posted August 17, 2020 Me neither... Confident their ways are best, hatred and ill will, one-lane bridge, fed on fear and lies, oracle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
