Estate sale, treasures only to those who once lived here. 
Stories long ago forgotten, maybe to never be told.
A somber event, people move wordlessly, occasionally whispering a “sorry” as they wait on the stairs.
We are...

A cowboy don't need no plushy pew or a rantin' preacher,
Pontificatin' from his pulpit aerie as his spiritual teacher!
He gits his religion from (to him) a more gratifyin' source,
Cherishin' God's Great Creation from the saddle...

DEVIL AMONG US or just MANY FACES


Hebrew described Satan as adversary,
Not a sole individual that you should worry.
But they walk among us.

They told me.
There’s a shortage of water and
we need to conserve.
