ancient history
cast in stone
strange but true
all dead lines
in almost mythic proportions
man just doesn't know
the gardens of evil
he himself and his for fathers plant
amid tawdry truths
and sinister secrets
made strong by grief
all in the hopes that
fading fortunes
will soon rise again
just learn to put morality in the
mouth of fact
nothing ordinairy about
any of it
for
even though surprises are abound
all along the bumpy ride
in the final verdict
armageddon
everybody dies
