I dreamt of widows killing men of honor 
A lucky mistake taking you for a ride through my abandoned lair that died from hunger 
Keep telling me your fears
I’m a psychological musician bathing in the waters with an unknown muse 
The desert prince of barren lands wishes to acquire your services.
I see four women 
A quartet of devastation 
Harpies in pantsuits cradling sniper rifles like silent babies with a killer cry 
The widows declined my invitation in supreme fashion 
Outclassed and cloaked in a shroud of my own uncertainty I retired to a grave buried under foolish ambitions.
Passion is what the widows seek 
A blacked out lie flying towards the finish line can never be truth 
Follow them for a pilgrimage of enlightenment 
Fear them for they have seen what their men have not 
A future.
