Burden of Terror, oh Mother
-From the ruins of her razed home
-Stuck in rotting bodies she cannot inter
-Is the burden of a frail old mother
-As her lips quaver with songs of Rome
A Snatch of Spring
-When knees and heads went down,
-All they asked Him was for their own
-Even in faith, the pair was downtrodden
-And phew! Yahweh shifted the burden….
Season Of Bliss
-Alleluia! Christ is risen
-His love carved in greisen
-A new dawn of sunrise
-Anew in faith we rise
-Strength and beauty arise
-Lifting hope of paradise.
-Shine your light
-And make it bright
-Shine your star
-And snub the scar
-As the old depart
-For a fresh start.
A Lethal Virus
-Life was so beautiful
-All things merry and bright
-A season red, green and cheerful
-Sweet candies and eggnog kept it right.
In The Shadow Of Oppression
-My people wail in pain
-The world mute and deaf
-Our oppressors kill and maim for gain
-Valiant as ever my people stand firm.

Stolen Breath
Oh no! see how that bullet turns up
