Unbearable Lyric

About the Book

Unbearable Lyric is composed of the darkest, unavoidable angst, pain, loss , and disappoitment - an emotional concentration camp where all news coming from the outside says the Allied Armies don’t stand a snowball’s chance at bringing liberation, ever. It’s the expression of the most hideous disaster ever to befall mankind, the actual repeated rape and bludgeoning murder of every girl and woman you’ve ever had the balls to accost in your wet dreams: because of your wet dreams. A song of words so true we dare not hear them.
