Find the Dream

But with the dawn she's never there
For with the bright morning's new light
I wake and find the dream I've had

You Do Not Have the Option


         If you do not have the option of either fleeing or attacking your adversary, your level of fear will grow to the point where you feel like your skin is being stripped to the bone.

There wasn't any Law


               But there wasn't any law, there was no rhyme or reason ; and with the sour-grapes attitude of ''why should there be ?'' - which is as near as you ever came to sophistication - you retired within yourself and compensated for the disappointment by drink ..............
