Natural soporific narcotic

Recurrent suicidal thoughts 
vaingloriously wend along winding road
within windmills of my mind
(o'er a death cab for cutie weeknd)

Reflecting on freedom’s one day scare 
Signing a declaration we want to be on our own 
Handful self-proclaimed leaders setting a tone

written in octaves

Tom gathers broken branches
and stubs his toes on roots.
Tywhoppity’s rich bottom

and stubs his toes on roots.

Re-staking his best...

Millions and millions of bricks
Tons and tons of concrete
Lord only knows how many panes of glass
Granite, Marble, and cobblestone too
Build a city strong, steeped in history

The Adams, Otis, Hancock, and Revere
Tea parties, massacres and lanterns...

The fall of sixty-three, I envisioned myself
"Miss Sorghum" of our Hancock County Fair.

I aced the talent phase on piano

Who used the stars to pinpoint the pyramids 
They penned the Book of The Dead in their own language

The fall of sixty-three, an incongruity!
I saw myself on a Queen's float, a title rare -
"Miss Sorghum" of our Hancock County fair.
I aced the talent part - piano was my art;
but needed practice wobbling in...

Or has the poetic safari just started under way?

Immovable decision is my signature.

Score's zip to zilch, last inning's near halfway through

Watch your loved ones through a screen...

But food and...

In pre American tyrannical land
In insane taxes the colonies drown 
They were indentured servants to the crown
The Redcoat aggression showed no remorse
Brotherhood was formed to fight back...
