The world’s gone to hell, ain't no question about it. Cities are turned to dust and the sun blazes down on us all. But even in this chaos, there’s still a little bit of life. We find it in the unexpected things: a working canteen, a scrap of cloth for patching up our hideout, or maybe just a starry night sky. And sometimes, we find it in the poetry that echo through the ruins.
These aren’t your fancy verses about love and loss. No sir, these are honest words about survival, about the willpower it takes to keep going when everything else has collapsed. These are narratives whispered around campfires, recitated between wanderers. They’re a reminder that even in the darkest of times, we can still find beauty in the most unexpected places.
- Listen to the wind howling through the broken windows, it’s singing a song of endurance.
- Envision the stars shining brighter than ever, illuminating the path ahead.
- Never Forget that even in this wasteland, there’s still a fire burning inside each of us.

Blood Meridian Blues: A Ballad for the Wild Ones
This here's a song about cruelty, 'bout the kind of heart that beats like a drum in the belly of amonster. We sing for the outlaws, the ones who walk on the edge of reason, their souls stained with the rusty kiss of the desert wind. The earth run red with their blood, and their screams echo across the plains like the wail of alonely soul. They are the flock, the feral children of this forsaken land, forever haunted by the specter of warfare.
Let us raise our voices, brothers and sisters, in a hymn to the wild heart. Let us sing a song of defiance against the law, and embrace the chaos that dances in their veins. For they are the true free men, living on the razor's edge, where death is always waiting.
