very low fuel warning
colicky bunting cucking cap cover
refuses to budge

Twixt narrow streets and hollow-sounding halls
there is a glimpse of what may come to be
in shadows where the sunshine never falls
and deep within the moonless circled sea.
The homeless and the dispossessed await
the Heaven they were promised while on earth
as if their pious actions controlled Fate,
attributed to circumstance of birth.
Those in need await a promised hero
to free them from their miserable life
the leader that they voted for is Nero
who burns the world and calls it "ending strife."
But immigrants of poor, downtrodden station
built upon their backs a glorious nation.
