its all about the river.
it consumes the oxygen in air
pulls the tides of the ocean
feeding the seas
just like the on the bay
downtown Mississippi
the ocean can kill
the boy who welpt and drowned
in the tears of a mother
whose only son is lost
the seas are murders
tainting ships and tipping boats
tell em to calm down thier tides
so we can heal
the rivers are predecessors
they hide the bodies of the slaughtered
they drain the life from villages, towns, and cities
it took my home
it took the mermories ive buit
it took my...
what about what it gave
the smell of the color blue in the air
the deltas that flourished with the smell of daffodils
bright yellow corn rosed from the ground like worms
the water that gave the rain and killed the drouts
the rain that fed the animals that fed the mouth
the river is all that its about....
the river city
home of pain and the home of the sick
the home of the greatful and the healed
pascagoula Mississippi
