By Jack Joseph Smith

Way ToThe End I do not want to write a Modern poem The collection of gold and oil Helia Bend red and ricked welll COMANCHIE Unread on the sheet yet White and blue as a saint Didn't I think about anything else when I lied abost the truth Of course I did do the oppisite And said everything right for you and we are all about time Yet you are the ones who think age makes changes
