Pictures of the dead,
pamphlets of the deceased
They’re passed out at every funeral,
where the broken hearted grieve ...
handed out like business cards
This strange belief
is a superstitious tradition

There’s a lot of underground networking

Born into this world as a humble, helpless Babe

Soul of Seaside Sepulchre
When the

twilight, which
drapes every

Bleeding souls, bound in flesh, of their imprisoned sight....

And your upscale lifestyle you abandoned
To lull the little me while I groaned

All because in me you hoped
But to take back you never lived

Mama the Prayer Warrior
