He sat on...

Judge Daniele Saggio

This year of our salvation, sixteen twelve.

at moon shadows he doth bay

meanwhile stricken with

Without knowing your gender...,

(nevertheless ex post facto still flattered
genuine heartfelt kinship mattered,
hence the reasonable rhyme 
across the webbed wide world 
I subsequently scattered).

Burden of proof lies squarely on the accused’s name;

The filer can exaggerate and overstate any imagined claim.

In Minnesota, Judges are forced to approve nearly every filing,

Driven by social movements and organizations beguiling.

Oft approved ex parte,...

I will keep this one simple as it involves one with love
to get the full impetus this song fits like a glove

with sobriquet "Guru"

Plastic, weak, never entered my wildest of imaginations
Leather was present in fantasies of all natures
Food was exciting but hunger would prevent the further
Whips sound too, too painful but a close cousin to pleasure
Bondage without physical...

Able to see into other worlds it seems,
the star at dawn or a bubble in the streams.

I have no idea what you just said.
I read it all, then I read what I read;
I played it several times in my head.
I thought I followed, but I lost the thread.

Not always the sharpest...

Tired of talking too much
I wish to rest my rhymes.
Now is time to give ears
To your titanic tale of tears.
The heart that was under constraint
Needs to be unburdened.
My grief-stricken lap waits for 
Your grieving grievances.
You,...

Throw back, throw down the comforter arise from bed...

Really would you as a routine respondent?
Want to be consistent as well as constant

He writes his own which claims no innocence,

His pen now takes the stand in his defense;
Atop the desk where sit respondent’s...

If I only knew why
Fog covers, our future that's to come
Irrecoverable, are the years that have been lost

A Tyrant's Respondent

If a tyrant has no power;
then tease him.
If he has few followers;
then mock them.
