under the pillow near my head.

Doggone it, I'm a Pit Bull!
A king. A man's best friend
Don't you know how vicious I can be?...

Peace like a river in Ozubulu was flowing

Vengeance was the mission
Anger from business...

now
Someone who know how important
farm workers are, giving them a strong

passengers screaming,...

Born in the USA, you say, ancestors crossed the sea.

Proud of your German heritage, and I am just a hick.

I am inflection
Poisoned pawn of perception
The Black Hand of persuasion
Twisting pallid pillars of affluence
Mercurial marble garlands
Plotting in political repose
I am invention

Neurosis of Nero
Ignited incense of Roman ruin
Human torches of venomous vapor
Breathing betrayal’s mushrooming...
