Shark Pact Manifesto written by Will Dockery (words) & Rusty Wood (music) >>>
Shark Pact Manifesto
The law of the undertow
it ends at the waterline.
In the Summerville night
not all of us can win.
There we are
where we never really were
Here we are
sidestepping the future.
Smile at me
while you stab me in the back.
Smile at me
make the moment last.
Standing near Ferry Landing
wind stinging my eyes.
Centuries reflect on the river
as you smile from the sky.
Shark Pact manifesto
no one makes a sound.
Silent waiting for the Tie Snake
to drag us Underground
I saw the river darken
so green it turns to black
With the sun fading away
edge of Alabama on my back.
Here we are
at the only place you'd allow
There you go
forcing my hand on
this burning bridge now.
There we are
where we never really were
Here we go
sidestepping the future.
Smile at me
from out of the past
Smile at me
make it last.

And, again, a manifesto:
"written statement declaring publicly the
intentions, motives, or views of its issuer"
As a result of "an agreement, covenant, pact"
made by "sharks":

"I like it because it works, and the definitions of the words are
not as rigid as you think they are." -- Will Dockery
That's better, I did write that and stand by it.

"I'd simply burn the garbage churned out by no-talent phonies like
Bukowski, Kerouac and Ginsberg." -Michael Pendragon
You wrote that, proving your cluelessness about modern poetry.
Bukowski - born 1920
Kerouac - born 1922
Ginsberg -born 1926
What's modern about any of them?
Look up 'Modern poetry", which began around 1916-1918.
HTH and HAND.
