Time to dance again
Elected to usher in
New Camelot waltz
All older
Some wiser
None remourseful
Saw you sneakin' out of Bird's Nest
Clutching bronze
Grasping silver
Still coveting gold
Your chafed lips
Red shoulders
Scarred back
From neck to waist
You did not free Tibet
Nor usher in a brighter dawn
But when you left your mobile on the bus
Strangers glimpse your struggle
To stay focused
Noticed subtle life changes
Dice man alterations
Now pure
As Eden's crimson skies
Toothless girl banished
Ping pong ball went missing
Counting down the years
The months
The hours
Till global games sweep into
Unsleepy London town
See the shapeless eager man
King for our time
Eyes of faith glimpse
Parted seas
Silenced tanks
Castrated burning bush
His older greying rival
Cracked and blurted out
The truth
Did no aide counsel him
That 'G' word was out of bounds?
Watch the Camelot man
In dusk's dim light
No more Mr Charley
Mr Darcy a more fitting term
(to suggest black podium gloves so uncooth)
Come spring will be
Camelot waltz time
Slower
Wiser
Less profane maybe
Just pass to me
Those old time dancing shoes

in this modern world, you can't change it overnight. bureaucracy is the real ruler. he's set out a date for withdrawal from iraq and he's working on shutting down guantanamo bay, which will take time. and somehow i don't think that any government will put real pressure on china over tibet because it wants cheap chinese goods. although i disagree with many of your views i applaud you, because you expressed them with such eloquence and intelligence.
