how are your eyes you see with?

how are your eyes you see with
do they still revolve within your head
how far Old Kentucky
I’d raise a 1.5 to lift the sadness I almost feel

Laura Lee back on her haunches
not a pretty sight dispels the darkness
on her turn, hair of auburn
tricks she learned while still a schoolgirl

war torn mystery, putrid history
each has tales of hell to tell
wake up boo plant another tree
sit upon your sugar daddies knee

simple life becomes a monster
the intellect of internet gross and cold
when our nana chushed our faces
then we never felt alone but cared for

steam trains ran through Clapham junction
we watched in line the vapour rise
In our sidings felt sun’s poetic gladness
the rain’s dark thunder rumble on

invaded now from every corner

language distorts our ghosts of freedom
heritage has gone up in timber
lights the beacons true flames desist
