Analysis of Escape"
Kenan Miller 1996 (Nashville)
"But that's what Swampland is .
Stagnant Muddy Waters and Willows, hiding a murky past.
The Sounds of Mosquitos and Crows, cawing at my misfortune."
Fear,
Thats what i feel.
Of the Ancient Beasts that Lurk just beneath the surface?
Or The Monsters , whos faces iv seen since birth.
