Magnum Opus
Cantankerous cancers found my blood letting from the slit, Is it avarice of me to desire the love begetting of Lazarus?

Man O’ Man can’t conquer the mother!
Man O’ Man can’t conquer the mother! Hitherto, the quoth be gather. To the havoc, thy avarice, foment; The virulence is a channel of chastisement. Man O’ Man can’t conquer the mother! Hitherto, the quoth be gather. The virulence is evil of discrete; say vox populi. Is this matter fit to greet; nay Mehdi. Man O’ Man can’t conquer the mother! Hitherto, the quoth...

Pandora, Oh Pandora, you're to blame Man's avarice has doomed us, one and all So blatantly we covet without shame And turn our heads away, when beggars call. In fact, it is a shared character flaw For who among us here, desires less? Do you feel like your portion is too small? It's when we're wanting more, when we transgress. Yet sharing the...
