All laws have been rewritten <br />And reinforced, <br />Floating cities are sunken <br />And forever lost, <br />Firebombs rained from heaven <br />And Cupid cried its thousandth tear. <br />Eras of error have come and gone, <br />And everyone got their own year. <br /> <br />Every Jack got his jacket, <br />Every dog had its day, <br />Every criminal got its medal <br />And every hero had to pay. <br />The blackboard has been erased <br />And rewritten a thousand times, <br />All the ink has been spent <br />Writing modern nursery rhymes. <br /> <br />Everything has been spent, <br />Everything is worn, <br />Every night has passed, <br />Everything is gone. <br />No one remains and <br />There is no dawning of a new day. <br />After all this, the stars will still hang <br />And still will have nothing to say.<br /><br />K.
