I suppise its been coming, yet its a sad day to see, Rupert
Lowe, has been shopped; on some discrepacy? I have no more
To put here.' I shall wait as must all..Yet a black flag it is
Apparant is now farages livery.' Let This be a lesson on
Not how to fall.'
The virtues, sacrificed
By muscling vices,
Lay dying
Across the dusty crusts of Earth.
The sky, once admirably azure,
Now bleeds dark streams of gray
Above the sight of flying vultures
Flapping, circling in wait.
Lately, the hedges go unclipped
as apples lay rotting on the ground
Threat? "Julius, cool your jets."

The day to settle one’s debts -
when sixty "friends" gave Caesar the shaft.

Beware the Ides of March he said
And soon thereafter he was dead,
How intuitive are they who know
How much longer they have to go,
Would you like to know the day
Or more precisely know the way?
I think not when thinking about it
The mystery doesn’t bother a bit.
