Five don't have an adventure

       FIVE DON’T HAVE AN ADVENTURE

Five met,

Five fought,

But only one man walked away.

Five died at the hand of the one

Who went his weary way

Just as dead as the other four

On that dreary, dreary day

An angry young man, a lover,

A laughing child and a sage;

All cut down on that dreary day

By the man who walked away.

When he killed the laughing boy

He discarded wonder as a useless toy

Then he killed the wise man,

And with him killed the whys.

After he killed the lover

Night just followed day,

When the angry youth lay dead

The man’s blood turned to grey.

The man who walked away thought he was the same

But the man who walked away

No longer had a name

But they had to die

On that weary day

“That’s how it is on the hard highway

Just another step just another day

    Just another step just another day”

          Just another step

Till he started to look back

Wondering why he walked

On that hard hard track

And why he didn’t have a name

And why he was the same same same same

And why
