Clashes of Religion and CultureFrom the onset you become
The supernatural puppeteer behind power
The chieftain of the tycoons
The moral and immoral nous
The sheepherder of the multiverse
Why tenuring freudalism and captivity?

I’m so glad this ship is docking in Mobile.
When fire broke out in the ship’s engine room,
the loss of power throughout was a harbinger of doom.
The congested toilets emit an intolerable smell.

TerrorismYou have tamed and forcefully dragged the horse
Through the path to the stream
It drank from the stream of black-blood
Then, after, its like just seemed like a fly at its sight.

Never AgainThere are six more who must be toasted
From the side which Internazionale roasted
On that victorious day in the sun
When in Lisbon the Champions' Cup they won.
In goal was Ronnie Simpson,the consummate veteran
Who spoiled many an opposing side's scoring plan
This was the greatest moment...
