Elias Kerwin was born to a woman
that people in the town didn’t care for,
way out in the old Dakota frontier,
she’d been nothing more than a common whore.

Until she took up with John ‘Killer’ Kerwin,

Always toking strong
A continual breeze blowing on
Meanwhile a lot kept going wrong

Over petty things they were so fond
Forming such a close bond
Among all these neutrons and protons

A lot done in a week
Answers found where rivers...

Over-power the masses single-handedly
One against many, against any calamity
Exhaust a man's will
To bend at his own
So what if it kills (him)
--The man has no soul--
Grew stronger by the day
Fueled by love and hate
A ruler and...

Magnified them and blown up their faith in god,
Claim that the magi had an epiphany, heard from above,
In searching for, analysing and interpreting the nexus odd.

My grandfather
Worked hard all his life
And died
When I was 
Away.

I remember him 
Sitting in the dark
By the kitchen stove
On cold winter nights 
Rubbing his calloused hands
Over and over again
Not saying a word 
To anyone
Listening to...

It has taken a long time for money to destroy

Cage the rage you envisage
At the slightest intervention
Your mood swing fails to assuage
When folly in full bloom springs into action 

To boost the small ego that looms large
In response to the uncontrolled wrath
Your short fuse...

Hold your fire
Let your sharp tongue retire
When to the fore sneaks your ire

Increasing carelessness danger
Thinking in your mind you’re an indomitable ranger
Although in your own skin you turn into a total stranger

there's more to their pain than the eye can see.
Maybe you should carefully think it through
before angrily dismissing their plea.

Just think how you would feel if that were you;

His eyes clear as can be 
And asks why I will not go
With his arguments I agree

But my answer remains "No"
