Thorn in the...

One “FAKE” rumor purports April Fools’ Day
accepted with hostile abandonment
according to Giggle ling search result
conducted by this gent
adopted when France switched
rather than fight abolishment
transitioning from Julian calendar
to Gregorian calendar,
(yet maintaining same gender reassignment)
called for by the Council of Trent
Lot affecting...

And he lifted out the mines where lead fell like bloody rain,

I have no life long childhood friend
I've never been...

Transcontinental wagons hooted their humming blared thunder
The Faithful six million alerted to the confrontation
Made their way in unison to the muezzin’s call yonder
The lake’s squadrons of Bernache geese...

With twenty-two ammo,
Pointed at me....
By twenty-two small time hoods
Each having done twenty-two years apiece...

Twenty TwoBeautiful curls flowing down
Large sparkling eyes, enticing
Life just starting recieved a death sentence
Though death has been around every corner since seventeen
She keeps on the dark, wide path
Shady deals and lies
Doesn't know the truth
Old cadillacs, old smelly men
Needles...oblivion
Where am I? What is that stinch?
Crying baby number...
