A Poem by Thayne Whipple
Lonely Cipher
Oct 20, 2015
Lonely cipher, where do you go?
In silence, what do you know?
Are you a poet in some kind of righteous rage?
Against a world you decry page after page.
Please tell me mister, do you have a place to go?
Or do you like to wander, out in the snow.
In silence, what do you know?
Are you a poet in some kind of righteous rage?
Against a world you decry page after page.
Please tell me mister, do you have a place to go?
Or do you like to wander, out in the snow.
A loner, in quiet thought.
I wonder what wars you've fought.
Have you now given up on what life once stood for;
And chosen other means to settle up the score?
Have you at last denounced the throne you earned at birth,
To search for answers at the corners of the earth.
I wonder what wars you've fought.
Have you now given up on what life once stood for;
And chosen other means to settle up the score?
Have you at last denounced the throne you earned at birth,
To search for answers at the corners of the earth.
Lonely cipher, where do you go?
In silence, what do you know?
Are you a poet in some kind of righteous rage?
Against a world you decry page after page.
Please take me with you, please let me see,
A new perspective and philosophy.
In silence, what do you know?
Are you a poet in some kind of righteous rage?
Against a world you decry page after page.
Please take me with you, please let me see,
A new perspective and philosophy.
