there is a sign

There is a sign

The weakness of a man

The heat raging hot in the mind

He can't get it away on time

So he will hide giving orders

“Don't ask me

I have nothing to say”

The circle moves

Round and round to try

The gag orders fly

Afraid to explain; afraid to account

The money tree grows tall suddenly

Right in the backyard reaching to the stars

Everyone stares and finger pointing

“How did it happen so quietly?”

The buzz roams

The houseflies buzzing

The money tree grows taller

In each passing time of night

The silence become a fight

Everyone talking asking why

“Don't ask me

I have nothing to say”

The watchers gather in circle

Trying to find a clue to it all

The blue, red and yellow groups

The shouting matches on the score

But the money tree doesn't bother

It grows on its own doing

Until the thunder and lightning

Flashes in the sky

Telling “You can't hide

The sins will be paid

Now or in the future

There is no escape”
