Analysis of Never Burst The Bubble
Never burst the bubble, even though remote,
that in time of peril
you can stay afloat.
Never burst the bubble, even though bizarre,
that in time of terror
you can still debar.
Never burst the bubble, even though obscure,
that in time of panic
you can stay secure.
Never burst the bubble, even though unease,
that in time of fracas
you can still appease.
Never burst the bubble, even though chary,
that in time of allure
you can stay wary.
Never burst the bubble, even though suspect,
that in time of differ
you can still respect.
