Intro

O full-orb'd moon, did but thy rays

Their last upon mine anguish gaze!

Beside this desk, at dead of night,

Oft have I watched to hail thy light:

Then, pensive friend! o'er book and scroll,

With soothing power, thy radiance stole!

In thy dear light, ah, might I climb,

Freely, some mountain height sublime,

Round mountain caves with spirits ride,

In thy mild haze o'er meadows glide,

And, purged from knowledge-fumes, renew

My spirit, in thy healing dew!

Goethe: Faust I.

The More Better

I was a man back when
I should have been a kkid
Hitting sticks and skipping bricks
Family god gave me and god gave good.

Stiil, I missed that innocence
For me I wanted only good
I wanted my mom to love my dad
She did. He was in jail, loveless.

I used to fear it was a curse
That I would repeat the mistakes
My ancestors did; have children
And show them how to Hate.

I am still a child
Barely a man. I have
scores to settle before
I can give in to youth

The weak weak ways of
Hate and Jealousy, even
Complacency and a two
week vacation to make sense of it.

See, what happened to me
I can't forget in two weeks
I choose the hardest path
before I betray my loves:
