Sirens

Who do you call when the lines are down
And you’re on your own
And all around you
The City is buzzing to the sirens
Where do you go
Do you hide in the cracks
The hot pavement burns
Is the wind at your back
Does that keep you running
With the sirens
What’s that you say?
Oh the words overpower you
Dissidence grows and all but consumes you in a convoluted bizarre
Does that keep you running
From the Sirens
How did you know
That the wicked would crash
And leave but a scare
With your ticket in tact
A ticket to peace
Away from the Sirens.
