THE LAW

ATTENTION GOD (ETHEREE)

Stored So bored Many hoard Oh Most High God!

Does nature have a head? Does nature have ears? Does nature have eyes It truly needs to be pitied […]

POOR POOR LAND

A CHAOTIC DREAM

NOT-THOUGHTFUL

PEACE GOES DERANGED

For a mystic unknown Much hatred is shown For a mythical blessing There are many hate lessons So this one says hurtful things to that one And that one cuts the ear of this one And the brother of this one kills that one What is their aim? To please one who has never been […]
