With Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers singing on the stage,
Sitting in the front row would be no one else but me!

Brothels Have ClosedBrothels have closed now what?
Does anybody care?
Did anybody think about the hapless women living there
What about them?
What will they do now for two square meals a day?
Many saddled with children
Can they go back home?
Will their families and society accept them
That too with their children?
Will anybody...

Hymn To FarewellWhy does my multicultural applauding message,
my polycultural cheerleading,
sound so monocultural chant, rant,
a passionless litany of redundant verse?
Who would have it said of their voice
It remains both too rich
and yet wandering on far too long?

whether you are a polypathic ethologist
or a monotheist
or harmony-synergy...

Away In a Far Off TownDozing off behind the wheel
Sleep-deprived decapitated
Dillaudid consequences

Alive.
Years prior to demise.
Burnt bridges. Dead ends.
A hell we created
Causality to impend
Insanity
A cyclic continuance
Doomed to...
