I’d like to buy a frigate for a song.
\nThe tune would be a rousing little ditty.
\nThe leaders I believed in were all wrong,
\nwent one-by-one insane. It wasn’t pretty.

\nStrip shaped core and shellshocked heart.
\nThe waves of doubt are crashing on the shore,
\ndistorting true reflection evermore.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
