Ode to the Axe by Kourosh Taheri-Golvarzi"Bring down that empire over there"
I love my axe.
My axe will do anything.
My axe alone can easily bring down a Communist empire.
My axe has a Viking's vibrato of death, doom, and destruction.
My axe has three raw, roaring, ripping humbuckers beneath its
six sinuous, slaughtering strings of sonic screaming and
rude awakening.
My axe gives a hissing, high heap of walled, wailing wah through
the blistering, bashing, bleeding bowels of my awakening,
ample-action amplifier.
My axe, with its Pythagorean string-octave theory, has the ability
to smash, bash, crash, thrash, flash in all its grinding,
gunning, gut-gouging glory.
My axe has the unrivaled power to destroy and create through a
hundred revisions, and will continue to destroy and create
indefinitely.
My axe sees no boundary and sweeps seas and soil with
sonic screams.
My axe is god.
