we got reports about wars of all sorts
being fought in and out of forts
the retort of some is to snort fire
right before they expire
breathe in breathe out,
twist, shout
scream liar liar with pants on
or off
short changed, and undressed
in the streets,
dead or half way there
far from home
wherever you may Rome
