I see this ulcer
Mind boggling in perception
Body arresting in phenomena

whose respected G.O.A.T status
among generic green acres, 
which swathed across Highland Manor 
analogous to petty coat...

Shriveled dreams shiver tonight
your eyes shimmer with tears
tainted hopes scare your heart
crumbling under forgotten years

I've blended mellowed lullabies
in pouring stardust from above

My grandmother's grandfather fought
Without surrender or tanant of fear
And two times with Boukman caught
And twice unlike him escaped
To die in a rocky cliff, proudly brave
While the freed slave escaped
