I felt compelled to sniff the incoming
My passion is the light Aurora
The arrival brought such sorrow
If you warned me about Gomorrah
arise yonder son soul rise
rise up into the skies
show us your lights
brilliance and brights
Rise up
Dawn
I crave the desk dawning Dawn
Eagerly I look for the landing
Understood a polar Don
Of drips that are standing
Deep into the darkness dipping
I crave the ecliptic early endowments
I crave the light legacies l i c e n t i o u s n e s s
I crave the drippings dust darkness rent
And Humanity never slighten
Arise yonder sun so rise
Rise up into the
Skies show us your lights
Brilliant bright
Rise up
Dawn
The lonely licentiousness launching
Wandering now? Now I crave the dusk dawning dystopia gone
Rise up dawn

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr © 2021
All while fighting and trying to breathe
Another part of the mind just wanted to leave
But her body kept pushing and trying to stay
While all her thoughts began to drift away
Her mind kept racing and would not be quiet
All day, every day, there was a riot
Until one day when the yelling stopped
And all this happened when her body dropped
She could feel the rope begin to tighten
And all her worries had begun to slighten
Because she would soon be dead
And all her painful thoughts would leave her head
