That made me laugh.
It is not every day that a thread title brings a Simon and Garfunkel tune to mind.
Hello darkness, my old friend...
and the people prayed
to the neon god they made
and the sign flashed out it's warning
in the words it was forming
and the sign said;
the words of the prophets
are written on the subway walls
and tenement halls
and whispered in the sounds of silence.
which brings to my mind others;
first;
I am just a poor boy
and my story's seldom told
Ive squandered my resistance
for a pocketful of mumbles,
such are promises
All lies and jest,
still the man hears what he wants to hear
And disregards the rest, hmmmm
then;
When you're weary, feeling small
When tears are in your eyes,
I will dry them all
I'm on your side
When times get rough
And friends just can't be found
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
