reparation,
for
lost wages
of
our labor,
since

Blue Horizon Rainbows Promise
In your weather beaten mind;
Clouded with mistrust and filled with guile;
Alone and trouble child son of man;

You know you are a savant of reflection.
Mystified are your people of your different directions.
Retro is your perspective.
Fashionably nostalgic is...
