The Gathering Storm

Knox stands deathless on the necropolis, a guardian angel of the destitute.
To the ones below it helps being stone, to stand and an example to the skin and the bone.
To the skin and the bone that run below, they scurry in the darkness their numbers unknown.
The lambs book of life will do well to record the lack of facilities some men afford.
There's a stern little church on the M8 always takes the time to frown upon me, like a sister Alphonso, all on her own so the rest of us know her hymens ok.

I saw a woman of abandoned character, London city, Soho square. She was drunk or drugged and she looked so pitiful, stopping young men who cruelly cared.
I saw a pigeon, pecking vomit "Morning Guvner" Death and blood.
As I made my way through the labyrinth, this is how my war begun.

You can lead a horse to water, you can't make it drink, You can educate your daughter, but you can't make her think.

My early years were preparation I knew that this fine day would come, the steps I take are those of Churchill, my destiny lay with the Hun.
By astral methods I entered Berlin, my falling dream was incomplete. All Teutonics,are they evil? I'll build them a wall they won't tear down.

Down at the forum I hear il Duce bang his legion drum and all the cripples that beg for Euros squirm outside the Vatican and in the twilight I saw the Julii cast the dice and cross the Rubicon, He could not know of all the long knifes awaiting him on the senate floor
