Alright Then

Alright then It was peace in the valley, a deep harmony of those who had fled the air of a town´s inequity? Then there was an avalanche of thoughts which caused confusion when it settled, a gramophone voice from 1930 sweetly sang “I love you, yes I do, my darling.” Back then, singers appeared in suits or long skirts. Now it is about tight trousers and ****, never mind the song. female singer elicit sympathy telling of an abused childhood The men, do tell, of poverty before they made it to fame. Tomorrow the peace will be broken by shooting, hunters will fill the valley and bath it with blood lust. The avalanche has blocked the road where we used to bath I accept that and find a puddle to wade in. should I get tired can find a folding chair and play my turntable and hum along with the old tunes.
