Let It Be

We sang along with
'Let It Be' every time
we heard the Top 40
Count Down Play Back
Power Hours as if
our lives depended
on remembering all
the words and how we
sounded singing them
and maybe, somehow,
our survival was linked
to world powers no one
would ever completely
understand like the words
of wisdom that made no
more sense than who
would live and who
would lie alone,
screaming, in a muddy
foxhole, in this unreal
world that just would
not let us be.
