They terrify me
\nWith their swirls and their curves and lines
\nTheir battle positions in dictionaries and behind enemy lines
\nSome look like they will bite, make a flag and hoist it high
\nOthers march out to shout, some to die and some to fight
\nSome still stay and plant gardens and trees
\nSome sleep inside pages, they never come in sight
\nEvery war ever fought they began
\nEvery truce ever made they designed
\nSo, when they leave my home and walk into the night
\nI pray as I wait and hope they return
\nWithout another war or blood on their hands
\nI could never disobey them with all the powers of the land.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
