The Clock on the Dying Branch
by: Chris Leveille
 
 
I stand, surrounded.
A drop in the bucket
Tens, hundreds
Lies, half-truths
Lonely, lonely, lonely
The cats have taxed the sheep.
Time passes, naught can be done.
The tree has lost its branches
We must plant the tree anew.
Remember the sacrifices
Truth, justice, honesty
The sheep will dance again.
