You are NOT!
With teeth
made of
corruption,
claws
of perversion;
You wanna be king,
wanna be queen.
Wearing a corona —
a shameful fantasy
to rob, to loot,
and to rot
to our,
and your,
own end
of destruction.
You might hurt me,
you might kill me,
but you are NOT
going to
beat me
down
to the level of
your fallacy
that this is your war
and no love or peace
should prevail.
Look ahead!
This shot was just a start!

Yes,mthat is for sure. Same story repeats itself. It takes someone with foresight and right vision to surpass it.

It does't take much to bring out the primitive in people, as they say civilization is a thin veneer Derina, people take it for granted!

I think you are right. Tommy. But I still think human nature is basically good!

A lot of tension in the world at mo. All seems t'be going off. It creeps into you sooner or later. You certainly had a message with this piece. The New Normal is something none of us want. I guess writing is a Harvey Smith salute to all this social-engineering bullshit!
