The Performing Arts Center [Jhelom Governor's Stance]

Some say the Arts Center, it is a failure
Of a town, that is in need
Some say Jhelom, it is a city
Where the Arts Center, should be left to bleed
Some say the Arts Center, has a hunger
To fill an aching need
I say the Arts Center, is a sanctuary
With the citizens, as the only seed

It's in the town, for the making
The Arts Center, a place to dance
RueTor's pop-star dream, is in the waking
If he only, gave it a chance
And the town, left to be taken
That has all there is to give
Will have a soul no longer dyin'
And an endless will to live

So when the night has been too lonely
And the foes have been too strong
And you think being PK'd happens only
To the weak, who have done no wrong
Just remember little Jhelom
Far at sea, where the cold wind blows
A place called the Performing Arts Center, where this fall
RueTor, may sing his prose

Hmmm... you have to give the politicians and their assistants credit. They do love to try to mold the behavior of the people within their town. Striving to make things seem like a "bed of roses", but do they know "every rose has its thorns"? Ahhh well... that may be a tale for another day.

*sighs*

Well... I can't ever go into the Performing Arts Centre, it is just against my nature. They just don't understand... can't bring myself to go up on stage anywhere... It is just not me.

*Looks under desk and thinks he finds a full bottle of Dead Bob's Brew (but cant make out all the words)... twists the cap off... pulls quill and ink from the desk to draft another letter*

I Sing Alone

I sing alone, yeah
With nobody else
I sing alone, yeah
With nobody else
You know when I sign alone
I prefer to be by myself

Every morning before hunting
I don't want audience or stage
Just me and buddy Colossus
That's all I ever need
'Cause I sing alone, yeah
With nobody else
Yeah, you know when I sing alone
I prefer to be by myself

The other night I was training
And I bored and went on a hunt
So I called up my pal Vengeful Spirit
And his partner Energy Vortex
And we sing alone, yeah
With nobody else
Yeah, you know when I sing alone
I prefer to be by myself

The other day I got invited to spawn
But I stayed home instead
Just me and my pals Summon Fey
and his brothers Summon Fiend
And we sing alone
Yeah, with nobody else
Yeah, you know when I sing alone
I prefer to be by myself

Yeah, my whole town done give up on me
And it makes me feel oh so bad
The only one who will hang out with me
Is my dear Minion Horde
And we sing alone, yeah
With nobody else
Yeah, you know when I sing alone
I prefer to be by myself
