I've wondered that from time-to-time, myself, PJR... it would be funnyIt's good to see new writing from you on the group, Will, and that was
an enjoyable read. i take it from the letters up top (chords?) that
it's a song, but it reads fine as text alone (which means it passes my
poem criterion).
Where is God (alias Michael Cook)?an enjoyable read. i take it from the letters up top (chords?) that

to see you slobber over some of his (cough) poetry again... heh.

Shark Pact Manifesto
E, G, A, E / D, A, C, G
The law of the undertow
it ends at the waterline.
In the Summerville night
not all of us can win.
There we are
where we never really were
Here we are
sidestepping the future.
Smile at me
while you stab me in the back.
Smile at me
make the moment last.
Standing near Ferry Landing
wind stinging my eyes.
Centuries reflect on the river
as you smile from the sky.
Shark Pact manifesto
no one makes a sound.
Silent waiting for the Tie Snake
to drag us Underground
I saw the river darken
so green it turns to black
With the sun fading away
over the edge of Alabama.
Here we are
at the only place you'd allow
There you go
forcing my hand on
another burning bridge.
There we are
where we never really were
Here we go
sidestepping the future.
Smile at me
from out of the past
Smile at me
make it last.
