[FULL TEXT] 

A tattooed body of roses
A taste of honey in a cherry pie
An alibi

A path to no man's land
A world of dark passion
A world of great deception

It is not a caution
It stands in a narrow format

A hollow tree
A bleeding sparrow
A raging storm

Never the server

It is now a pick
To dress that tick

Shadows of past loves
Sink into the stale air
The air is fresh

The wind blows freely
Cheerfully and desirably
to the crimson ways 
Crimson ways of dressing.

Double dactyl
Zebra Supremacy
Hoo-ha, hoo-ha, hoo-ha
Born with black and white stripes
I prance about freely 
A creature of delight
One of the wild
A creature of day 
Vibrant and of one race
Not to be treated in spite
