  • I often wonder if the children should
    Attempt to pay the debt of gratitude...

  • No longer a subject of notoriety
    Two people survive in our society...

  • When rocking on the waves of insecurity,
    And lacking in emotional maturity...

    To make a government that serves mankind...

    In senseless rush and active fury rolling on...

    And it is frowned upon by folks refined...

  • Monsoon
    It will be here soon...

  • Beyond the waters, way below,
    Lie shiny caps of Southern snow...
