Hide & Seek

 

no free lunches
no easy rides
no where to run
no place to hide

olly olly oxen free
sean why do you run from me?

there is no more “base”
no such thing as “safe”
or effective
the truth became subjective

olly olly oxen free
sean come out! can’t you see?

one of my favorite games
hide and seek
but for those hunting me
i dare not peek

olly olly oxen free
sean are you behind that big oak tree?

for a time i managed to get away
had a second childhood
during which i played
only for it to end this way…

olly olly oxen free
Aha!  I found you! No more running!
No more games!

i suppose it’s off to “camp” i’ll go…
either that or die a death real, real, slow…
or i could go out in a blaze of glory…
or sell my soul and die of worry…
heartbroken with regret
such a sad story.
