To get away, to buy me things, to have a...

As she prays and awaits the birth of...

I saw all the scaremongering go away

I saw in my arms a child I love so
I saw that I did not want to let him go

I saw that...

News flash
Paris attacks;
Violence strikes

Innocent deaths
Terror unveils;
Death delivers

Hood stars on the avenues hangin',
You hear the sounds of the ghetto

this chance for all to rise from ransoms paid.
With forgiving grace that must not ever die,
whose sacrifice laid bare with shame, betrayed.

Rare, as spring's new life...

Hoard healthy highs
End etch enough
Add apt apply
Roam rivers rough
Trendy true tries


Hope hurls healing
Etch earns ending
Art aims asking
Reap real risking

Apt art aspires
Relieve rowdy
Toilsome touch tires


Hoist heavy hounds
End each explore
Art airs astound

his will has met it's match.
Lost to his own deceit,
