This Time of Year (Weirdelf's version and Washing Tears version)

This time of year- By Weirdelf

I tend to jeer, no scrooge me! Don’t diss me good reason for my suss, this is nothing for us wild beings attuned to the suns appearance and loss. You fools take a fake and make a spending spree of wild ecstatic ecstasy, so don’t ask me to bow and think all is well in a world that hates me. That hates my and animals wild and free, gonna do it anyway in this southern land I stand in summers fiery heat and extol the lies of some middle eastern creep got it wrong, son of god my ass, like he rode, I ride nuthin use nothing but the power of my ‘puter for my words to say love me all the year or go away.
And stay.


This Time of Year- By Washing Tears
Where is the joy, where is the cheer?
Like a broken man I sit drinking my way out of fear
This is nothing different for us wild beings like this
We are accustomed to the sun fading to black and it looses me

We are all fools, can we not all see?
What repulsive lies we are lead to believe
We spread this story like a burning forest
And along with it bring disaster and toil

Burning ever greens take away from spirit of the day
So many families lost their faith this way
Spend all our years’ earnings for a day of joy
Children unpleased with the gift of an unwanted toy

Sing peace on earth and good will to men
Why do we have to pray for this to happen?

Son of god, or son of man
That is not for me to understand
He brought the world disaster wars and pain
People are killing in his name

Are we all so blind?
We are all the same, every fiber of our minds
I use nothing, ride nothing, I am something though
Love me all year, or let me go
And stay…

Love it

Thank you for the rancid breath of truth which a lot of us shy away from, an excellent write that needs to be understood by many more quiet people, Yours Ian.T
