Destroyer of Silence

Riding in the car After a long bike ride… Radio off Silence circles us Questions bounce around in my head I can't keep them in… So I shattered your Peaceful silence Me the Inquisitor You Socrates Looking for his hemlock In the glove box How can one person Be… So many to me?... Socrates to my questions Devil's Advocate to my stances You were my Uncle Dad Big Brother… And my Best Friend Too… I was the Destroyer Of your Silence Static to your Radio Giant Lizard… To your Chipmunk To every entrenched Stance of mine You were a nonchalant Devil's advocate Your Patience waning as we drove You played beauty on the cd player You gave me Ani, Ellis, Bruce, and Primitive Radio Gods I found your old cassettes Journey, Eagles, and Styx Hotel California was my lullaby How can one person Be… So many to me?... Socrates to my questions Devil's Advocate to my stances You were my Uncle Dad Big Brother… And my Best Friend Too… I was the Destroyer Of your Silence Static to your Radio Giant Lizard… To your Chipmunk Every box from the Attic A sedimentary layer Of your childhood I was an archeologist stumbling on Beautiful drawings of Robots and Dark haired beauties SciFi and Fantasy Books were treasures left behind for my consumption Took your toy Millennium Falcon On a trip to another galaxy with Alf and Captain planet How can one person Be… So many to me?... Socrates to my questions Devil's Advocate to my stances You were my Uncle Dad Big Brother… And my Best Friend Too… I was the Destroyer Of your Silence Static to your Radio Giant Lizard… To your Chipmunk
