Fertile Crescent
and Vestigial Conscience

The sun overshadowing my morality
my self- righteousness eclipsed

Where early mans' dawn is,

Part Three

Whether or not relations with the uncultured enamour
Do not seek to succour what should sour

Who feather their own nests and leave you in a mess

I’m sick of hearing that guns don’t kill --
