Still

emmorrison 1971 (Mountain Home)



Covid-19,
Delta,
Now Taliban,
Getting hold of
U.S. equipment,
Don't know how,

But the point is,
Troops going,
British pulling
Out Lord,

Don't know what this truly means,
That's why I stay away from the news,

Now better to keep up with what is going on,
The world is going to plunge
Into red
And real.
