North By North West

North by North West In the wee hours of the morning Asleep as if dead Transported north by north west From the middle of my bed In the dark of the night Upon the ramparts of a dam , I stand A country of great power and might And no one to lend me a hand Dark clouds rising, tremble with fear For in the path of the dam, lies a large population So far away, with no one to hear This is no hallucination Grab a rope, swing down To the right, run to the hills As the muddy waters roar towards the people, all drown It gives me chills William Morrissey 12/22/06 vision
