Beauty of the deep, a magnificent sight to see,
From the depths, an echo of a gentle song,
Her voice her presence, that I forever long.

America seemed safe and secure...
Twin Towers up in flames
Her southern border down the drain...

Drift not by chart, but hallucination,
And their lofty voices, at once speaking
A bit louder than the planks...
