#1316 - no is so easy

no is so easy

 

it’s the word with the sharpest edges

and sometimes it’s all that you have

you’d like to bite but ‘no’ comes out

 

it’s been this way to make a stand

 

no is a long howl of defiance

a word for screaming too

 

no is the first word for some

the first thing that comes into your head

it is a word of power

 

and when it falls into the wrong hands

the wrong head

when it comes out of the wrong mouth

 

that’s when history’s undone

 

no is a way to not listen

it’s block my ears

nothing can convince me

 

it’s the shortest known distance

between question and tantrum

 

ask any old two year old

they all know

the first word weapon

 

it’s not exactly something remembered

 

but there was comfort when there was nothing ahead

just mother all round

nothing to say

nothing said

 

now the closest thing we have is no

 

this is how we go back to the dark
