East Jesus

Picture 1 the message is sent loud and clear to the four winds nobody listens Picture 2 the whirlwind roars past leaving in its wake havoc and broken spirits Picture 4 drinking to old age drowning memories in wine that has gone sour Picture 5 racing against time in youthful exuberance life turns to ruins Picture 7 sought eternal fame now, imprisoned in stardom she pleads for freedom ---------------------------------------------------------- Contest: East Jesus Sponsor: Roy Jerden Placed: 6th
