By constraint and definition
are they so outlined
in the pockets of feckless charity
so circumscribed
and life be ruled by gutless fear
the survival mechanisms
and judgmental machinations so conspire
to pitiful wealth

For the long lost song of Mercury.

But even now his light still is bright in...

While we stay silent
The fight is going on.
In Chicago, Los Angeles, New York
The West Indies
And the Lebanon
All over the world
There is a tale to tell
Of some living in paradise
Whilst others live in hell.

Never seen beautiful angels
sprinkle angel dust on me
as snowflakes on a leafless tree,
and I don't expect them to alter things
when they swoop down with their long wings;
where were they when I faced fears and dangers?

Is it still there, swaying in the
Chicago air?
I dream of myself with dark,
ribboned braids, being just seven.
And swinging my tanned legs as
hard as I Could,,trying to kiss God's 
cheek in heaven.

Oh to be seven again!

Before Lucifer captures your soul 
In our saviors final dance

A loving and caring being
His smile made our hearts leap
Such a fragrance only he could bring.

So much love served but could no longer...

The swallowing of a morsel can't be justified

When a new day dawns tomorrow
and flowers flourish in all their glory,
When a whimsical wind sets 
rolling ripples in a placid cove,
meandering through the flower-laden boughs
and ruffles the tawny tresses 
of some gregarious souls...
