Pilgrim – The Obsession with A Band
By Nithin Coca
He listens to the bands songs in light
Songs that he would hear live this night
The teen sat and watched clos’ly the clock
As it was his god of which he was in lock
This band he had loved for a many year
Of which the sweet music flew threw his ears
He left the real world which made him so sad
Just to worship a band with words so mad
He no longer had care of school of friends
And did not give a damn ’bout other men
He sat in his room almost every day
Singing the lyrics that his band would play
Lyrics about how avidity and greed
Had made the world a place without any creed
The Teen held that the members of his band
Where the greatest people in the whole land
Men who were with no greed but with much truth
Who tried to save the world from its evil tooth
Who went across the country to preach their words
And tried to make it so that all had heard
The teen would not hear a bad rumor
That his band was full of faithless membors
He felt it deep inside of his cold heart
That the music was true and soci’ty dark
The day crept slowly in the teen’s keen mind
For that eve’ning he would stand in a line
He left toward the football stadium lot
Where the band would be playing thier heart
He went as one a’lone without any friends
Because he gave up on them for these men
So off he went
Even though he had not told them of how far
He had plan’ned to go a’way this night
The teen was the first one at the great place
So early that the bands van was in displace
He waited again for more hours and hours
And fin’aly he saw the van with flowers
So quickly out of his car the teen ran
To try to get a glimpse of the great band
But he clearly saw that the band was not
Going to wait for any people in the lot
That the van was going to go inside
And sec’rity off’cers guarded the outside
The teen was not in avail and he could see
That the band must have been really bus’ee
So he went back to his car and watched
For the gates to open and the crowd to walsh.
Two hours later the gate flew open and people
Ran in like nothing else was was realer
The teen ran in like everyone else did
But he was stopped when the lady got rid
Of him for not having no admission ticket
He cried and fretted and then he went
To the ticket booth when he was sent
“I need a ticket as close as can get
Said he with ten tollars from his jet
The ticket man laugh’ed and joked said
“Tickets are 50 bucks, need some more red?”
And the teen reached into his pocket
And all he found was ones and a locket
So he sat outside and listened as he could
To his former favorite band play like crooks
And he sat and wondered out loud
If there was any good left in this world cloud.
