What’s to be Said, That Hasn’t Been Used?

image

What’s to be said,
That we haven’t said before?
What’s to slam,
When there’s a lock on the door?
What’s to bee,
When the flowers are gone?
What’s to continue,
At the end of dawn?
Whats to saw,
When everything’s seen?
What’s to be angry,
When they’re equally mean?
What’s to cry,
When what’s sad is done?
What’s to play,
When there is no fun?
What’s to live,
When you’re the last to stand?
What’s to cry,
When you’re offered a hand?
What’s to be angry,
For that’s what they want,
What’s to fear,
For horrors still haunt….
What’s to continue,
When you’ve reached the end?
What’s to be,
When you’ve nothing to lend?
What’s to slam,
When you’re confused,
What’s to be said,
That hasn’t been used?
