Rooted in green, he lives life earnestly.
Behind the Elders, the moon...

Give it a go, put on a show

...The worst kind of loyalty, is often
meted out blindly
It’s an entrapment, and it always
ends badly
I once thought to try it on for size

Can you smell,
that rancid daisy in the room?
As it reeks,
