Mark the man from Ayrshire
Mark was Number One
inside the George and Pilgrim
clearly his fathers son
An effervescent gaiety
and Beltanes Summery glee
a wonder and admiration
from his lifeforce known as qi
rebalancing the aura
drama at its best
the oddity of being
close to naturalness
outlandish and enigmatic
incredible to see
a Scotsmans admiration
and full on reverie.
sleeping in a battlefield
a heartfelt syphony
Behold the blazing carbines
the carnage one could see
the hearts that failed
The souls that sailed
into eternity.
culloden all that darkness
the cannon fire the blood
Many a youth was lost that day
in a torrid flood
rivers of confusion
blood spatter everywhere
violence came to conquer
almost everybody there.
