where are the Nigerian youths? 

where are the pillar of the foundation?

a dance of shame

in the stormy ocean kicked by the wind

Petticoat Junction) naturemade
Perkiomen Valley watershed,
verdant landscape displayed
yours truly, (a garden variety

That knew not any of our lures and lores
The wells of hope we thought...
