Haibun Monday 3-2-26: A “Life on Mars” Tribute
Two books last week were:
“Sons of Valor IV: False Flag” is a thriller by Brian Andrews and Jeffrey Wilson about a conspiracy in the Middle East following the murder of the Saudi Crown Prince, which frames Mossad agents and threatens to ignite war. The book follows the “Gold Squadron” as they race to uncover the truth behind a false flag operation orchestrated by a hardline Saudi prince and an Iranian operative, while a team infiltrates the Saudi palace to expose the plot. It’s the fourth book in the Sons of Valor series, a spin-off of the Tier One series.”

A sigh escaped her when the prism caught the marvel of the stage set, dressed for the dance. The afternoon shadow would soon drift in and fingers of clouds would stay the night. Charlotte hoped this ballet story would come through to the audience and she deepened the color on her cheek and lips. She would seek the perfect makeup for her character and then snuggled into her costume.

Share Your World: 2nd March
She was always a proper miss
Even angry never a hiss
A boy got too rude
Her nerves came unglued
Decided to just “take the piss”

I think the “demons” are taking over the white house –
Demons” is a hit song by the American pop rock band Imagine Dragons, released on January 28, 2013, as the third single from their debut studio album, Night Visions (2012). The song, an indie rock ballad, explores the universal human experience of battling inner struggles, insecurities, and personal flaws, which are metaphorically referred to as “demons”. It became a major commercial success, peaking at number six on the Billboard Hot 100 and becoming the band’s second top ten single after “Radioactive”.
Producer: The track was produced by British record producer Alex da Kid (Alexander Grant).
Music Video: The music video was directed by Isaac Halasima and dedicated to the late Tyler Robinson, a young fan who passed away from cancer. The band established the Tyler Robinson Foundation in his honor.

When the days are cold and the cards all fold
And the saints we see are all made of gold
When your dreams all fail and the ones we hail
Are the worst of all and the blood’s run stale
I wanna hide the truth, I wanna shelter you
But with the beast inside, there’s nowhere we can hide
No matter what we breed, we still are made of greed
This is my kingdom come, this is my kingdom come
when you feel my heat, look into my eyes
It’s where my demons hide, it’s where my demons hide
(Oh-oh-oh) don’t get too close, it’s dark inside
It’s where my demons hide, it’s where my demons hide
Curtain’s call, it’s the last of all
When the lights fade out, all the sinners crawl
So they dug your grave and the masquerade
Will come calling out at the mess you’ve made
Don’t wanna let you down, but I am hellbound
Though this is all for you, don’t wanna hide the truth
No matter what we breed, we still are made of greed
This is my kingdom come, this is my kingdom come
when you feel my heat, look into my eyes
It’s where my demons hide, it’s where my demons hide
(Oh-oh-oh) don’t get too close, it’s dark inside
It’s where my demons hide, it’s where my demons hide
They say it’s what you make, I say it’s up to fate
It’s woven in my soul, I need to let you go
Your eyes, they shine so bright, I wanna save that light
I can’t escape this now, unless you show me how
when you feel my heat, look into my eyes
It’s where my demons hide, it’s where my demons hide
(Oh-oh-oh) don’t get too close, it’s dark inside
It’s where my demons hide, it’s where my demons hide

March Music Birthdays
Rose left the shelter of the cabin, careful to step around the rock edge. The cold air made her tremble, her flesh covered with goosebumps, but she was determined not to settle for his lies any longer. He had started out so friendly and nice. Then when she realized Alex was not human, but a ghost, things started to get messy. She finally realized what he really was and not a scrap of her fantasy was true. How did she get into this, and why believe it was real? Rose heard a bell, incessantly ringing. She woke up in her bed, covers askew.
