That lives in the hearts of those,
Who still see value in keeping strong communities

As they are so woven into the fabric of daily life,
The need never...

Finally, I would have a good night's sleep
In this big mansion I always have dreamt of
The mansion that once belonged to a man
To whom I bestowed my disguised fondness

who left the shack where mum would hide.
Alone in the streets of guns and race,

Illuminate the distance between me, and you 
Forgive me,...

like it used to in Spring’s past -

a mad scream from the maiden lain there
From death she awoke in the dark crypt
From cold death and so full of despair.

In those years of innocence
When actions were not guided by much sense
I once killed a little white cat
That had trespassed; I guess, while on the trail of a rat.
