Before You Go

Many years ago
When I took this contract
I swore a sacred oath
To protect this new act
Never to deceive them
Or put them in harm’s way
Lead them into danger
Or lead them astray
The circumstances changed--now I’m in the middle
Of the darkest times; This Prophetic riddle
I cannot stand by, and refuse protection…
Consider this my resignation of this whole profession!
I was a good man for this job…
But now it’s time for me to go
I cannot lead you further
Oh in my heart this truth I know
I bid you all farewell
Consider this my vacancy
I wish you best of luck now…
You will have been the greatest work I have ever done in my entire LIFE…
…Good day to you… good day…
