Belle, my beauty, out of time,
\nmagnificent, eternal,
\nstop this hand from writing
\nthese strange entries in your journal.
\nMake the flowers grow somewhere
\njust out of sight of man.
\nMake the aged father leak
\nso weakly in a pan.
\nShine the moon upon the sun,
\nreverse despotic oceans.
\nMake us get a healthy tan.
\nProvide the proper lotions.
\nAnd on your last sweet smell of breath,
\nblow smoke to heal the nation.
\nCreate for us better roads
\nand faster transportation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
