I was walkin’ down the street one day
While I was out to buy some food
For my family at a local grocery store;
It was time to get them dinner
...
To whomever seest this note,
This letter is for thee,
Lookest thou in thine hand,
And thou shalt see a key.
...
Yahweh's oracle to you, my Lord, 'Sit at my right hand
and I will make your enemies a footstool for you.'
Yahweh will force all your enemies
...
My brother is my brother,
He is of the same blood,
He is my brethren,
And he is of my kinship,
...
When I look at you,
My insides writhe together,
My stomach has a lurching feeling,
Butterflies fly around it,
...
On my honour,
On my dignity,
And on my family’s name,
I promise to relax all the time,
...
You seem rather sick,
Sick with a head cold or a sinus infection,
With a fever burning out of the wazoo,
So I will apply this poultice to you,
...
War, what is it good for?
For killing each other
And committing mass genocide,
Or fighting over small pieces of land,
...
A woman of quick wit and understanding,
Blue eyes filled with vivacity and knowledge,
An empathetic smile filled with enthusiasm and warmth,
Bonnie Jo Campbell looked at me with excitement.
...
A man of a resigned attitude,
Quiet, withdrawn reticence,
A stature of bulky composure,
A calm composed breath,
...
