The Reeling Bridge
Shatters of our loins;
Trepidating high on the mountain sigh
Caliphates on the shoulders of power
The Jungle; a psyche for warriors
I fear not; for its aim are-
Alas, a country jabbed!
The reeling ridge; bridges to leech-
On the stenchy throne; matyrs made,
On the stenchy throne; history made.
A plunging ocean!
The reeling ridge.
The reeling ridge! Tempo high;
Nigh, the reeling road!
A stain; the road to victory,
The reeling ridge.
