Reflecting love unusual
Run in veins terrain.

Premium MemberLost Subterranean City

lost subterranean city of the Grand Canyon
Fact, legend, Hopi story or cover-up?
In 1909 Arizona Gazette printed the story
A secret underground citadel a mile down
discovered by G E Kinkaid, a renown explorer
also the first white baby born in Idaho

the mysterious cavern was etched out in rock
shaped like the spokes of a wagon wheel
could have held up to fifty-thousand people
a highly evolved civilization, sharp-edged weapons
ornately decorated gold and copper cups
the multitude of mummies turned out to be male only

this could be the oldest archeological find in the USA
tablets were engraved with hieroglyphics
appeared to be a link between Egypt and Arizona
Hopi Indians claim their ancestors lived in such a city
Under the Grand Canyon
Hoax or truth? Smithsonian scientists believed it was true.

Subterranean Homesick Blues Again

Dan's on the mezzanine 
asking where the mayor lives 
I'm on the dole line, 
wondrin bout conservatives 
The man with the leg cramps 
boot camps wheel clamps 
says they cut his food stamps. 
Look out son, 
he’s packin a gun: 
God knows why 
Pat Boone, full moon 
someone's gonna die soon. 

Del's on welfare, 
Donald Trump is real pissed: 
give 'em all health care? 
What are we? Socialists? 
Thinks I'm Harry Lime: 
street crime, sub-prime, 
now you're working part-time. 
Look out boy, 
you're only a goy: 
don't revere teachers, 
don't obey no preachers. 

Jen's on Fox News 
talkin bout the bank crash 
wanna get some real views? 
What about the trailer trash? 
Read about Goldilocks 
Botox bobbysocks 
modelled by Amanda Knox. 
Look out, Joe, 
you're spoiling the show. 
Don't watch features, 
don't dance in the bleachers. 

Get hired, get fired, 
get rich, get stitched, 
get tired, get wired, 
get hitched, get ditched. 
They got the cops at backstop, 
Al Gore keeping score 
'tween the Poors 
and Dirt-Poors, 
'tween the Haves 
and Have-Mores. 

John Wayne's vanished. 
He's off to learn Spanish.
