Colors; for faded love but bathed in the brightest rays
It paints a picture of two lives, fading in graying years

All about Salfords death and decay.

It had to come down to rise up again,
But the way it was done was all...

For three hundred thousand, of five billion years,
A fact never challenged by science or fears;
Upright Homo-Sapiens, embodied two genders,
Each body clearly favoring, the other body’s splendor.

But alas as we humans, have improved and evolved,

Anthropomorphic in nature, I stand
The last of the letters, the final brand
My sharp edges, my zigzag form
Distinctive and unique, a letter born

Where the simplicity of life is so rare to find
And the kindness of heart finds no retreats
No sharing of wealth, greediest of mankind

Listening heartbeat,
Hearing with the soul-ears,
Living to change another day.

Always sharing within life in one.
Than the will to carry...
