the troublemaker turned magician
I’m not from this land
but I’ve been hearing
good news is on the way
whether it’s here to stay
is another story
but as of now
more & more bones
are being found beneath
the surface
confirming what the locals
have been saying
for decades
the front page
is not indicative of a world
some say is parallel
one in which escapes
and survives the greatest
of all evil
by way of mere
counter-madness
