In sandy Egypt lived three men

Then crown Napoleon Bonaparte Emperor of France, 2

Beginnings – Endings

Out of the darkest reaches of time and space
came molten minerals, gasses, rocks, comets

Once upon a time, there lived a boy called Simon.
He was an ordinary boy who did what ordinary nine year old

speaking to imaginary friends, riding a bike...

The white race has a point
But that doesn't mean
They should treat us improper
The white race has a point
Nature is repeating it over and over
White snow, white moon
white Jesus, white angels
white robes, white clouds
White pedestrian crossing
White...

Of tales such as...

like music hums

Solfeggio
a new vibration
