suffering tricks
trouble a mountain
reserve for an ideal
an addiction to miracles
promotes a form of soul theft
corruption regroups
stalked to nothing
pushing dreams themselves
out of heaven
all making February
a killer of men
what's next
hope in handcuffs
visible free fall
an isolated illusion
making its way onto the stage
of war
or better yet
unconditional withdraw
from further campaign
to fraud
starting first
always with
coffee and a stale cigarette
as whiskey never tasted so good
if served before 10am..............
