two leaders, three theaters and sixteen denominations of
currency
that is the exact words that Valencia said to me
and then of course that for our very lives we each must
flee
but I walked away only to emotionally die in that
senseless fire
for the man I loved lost his precious life in his attempt
to save ourselves before our each thought to be worthless
well beings were forced to expire
where he failed
I prevailed
and into the sunset I lonely and alone solely sailed
but to this tree of indignity I will forever stay
nailed............
