Metallica Lullaby (07/31/07)

As Metallica sings me my lullaby
Their ignorant voices filter through my bolt-locked door
They do not know the injustice done to those who were here before them.
"Time marches on, for whom the bell tolls." 
In the past, I walk with her discussion music.
I tell her my favorite band is Metallica
She looks surprised, fooled by my preppy exterior
She comments: they have very angry music
"Forever trust in who we are and nothing else matters."

I miss the black clad figures of home
I miss the shared hurt, pain, suffering that reflect my own eyes.
I miss the unspoken bond just because of where we were born and how we were raised

Angry music

She has no ideal, cannot begin to fathom it.
