Two Amazing Pieces of Poetry

W.B. Yeats

The Second Coming

1919

Turning and turning in the widening gyre

The falcon cannot hear the falconer;

Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;

Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,

The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere

The ceremony of innocence is drowned;

The best lack all conviction, while the worst

Are full of passionate intensity.

Tear for Fears Love

Sowing the Seeds of love

1989

High time we made a stand

And shook up the views of the common man

And the love train rides from coast to coast

DJ's the man we love the most

Could you be, could you be squeaky clean

And smash any hope of democracy?

As the headline says, you're free to choose

There's egg on your face and mud on your shoes

One of these days, they're gonna call it the blues

Yeah, yeah

Sowing the seeds of love (anything is possible)

Seeds of love (when you're sowing the seeds of love)

Sowing the seeds of love

Sowing the seeds of love (anything is possible)

Seeds of love (sowing the seeds of love)

Sowing the seeds

I spy tears in their eyes

They look to the skies for some kind of divine intervention

Food goes to waste

So nice to eat, so nice to taste

Politician granny with your high ideals

Have you no idea how the majority feels?

So without love and a promised land

We're fools to the rules of a government plan

Kick out the style, bring back the jam.
