Attractive, tall, well muscular and good looking is Mr. Regiani a beating drum's aura and the charisma of a violin choir chooses the stars to interact without the need of a telescope and always in purchase of suits with their own natural fragrances a mister in the hearts of all in the neighbourhood not strict, just so selfish, self righteous and domineering friends with like minds top his priority to his own children invited guests flocking in to make some of his sons illegitimate all eyes must turn away from the east because he sees west all hearts must stay hopeful and dry because his drinks alone a family so complete and balanced, his uncommon blessing yet stirs terribly to an ultimate scatter using his own hands cry after cry, opponents form on both sides of his partition he then eats and make merry while the least of his blood lie sick turning a human to camel, the victim comes from near his bedroom lines up his seedlings to inhale the fart of his rude gaseous release encouraging mediocrity for the productive to pay heavy taxes a son grows from boy to man, nurturing the hate of this identity nature and life stand with him to use history’s angry signature he stays in the heated court to successfully change his surname development comes with freedom but not without sacrifices and determination mr. Fariba’s liberty and new identity are expressed as he conquers his father’s heartless dominance.
