She Was An American Girl

Raised on promises ? Trip the wire where nothing remains... An east coast orphanage and red coats, fighting for her republic Dolls in rags their quivering lips these salty tears Eurydice a crazy life Insidious circles Paul Revere stigmata's, the British are coming offertory's Communion Alfalfa versing Buckwheat a Shakespearian send'off Monroe's doctrine Alibaba's all saints day Bluebeard's manifest, destiny Mahican squaws as trails their tears Longfellow reciting Darla's dreams; love's turn'coat screams pledged of dire shots, ringing out.
