With best friend Kelley driving his war car, 
Alfredo surveys the tense situation. 
"Long has our gang ruled west side of the city, 
controlling lucrative drug operations 
that net our gang wealth so we live like kings, 
but now are we fractured in civil war." 

"On both sides of our conflict range good men 
whom I had trusted for so many years, 
bonding in brotherhood of our grand mission, 
but now men I respect are on both sides, 
ranged against each other in savage conflict, 
so I am reluctant to fight this turf war." 

Alfredo sighs as he views all his friends 
and family ranged against each other. 
"When we were united in our gang purpose 
we killed opponents without moral qualm, 
but now I feel sick at heart with despair 
that I must kill good people I respect." 

Sitting in the front seat to drive the war car, 
Kelley reveals his unknown parentage. 
"Though I am unknown son of first godfather 
from whom you inherited our street gang, 
I am content to drive and guard your life 
for you direct our mission with calm wisdom." 

"We are temporary bodies of light 
composed of atoms flashing in the void, 
energy contained in bodies of flesh 
which our mothers generate from desire, 
so our ancestors live inside our souls, 
as we reincarnate inside our children." 

"We are transient vessels for our soul genes 
which live forever in our family bloodline, 
so we perform our duty in this life 
to protect our children from harmful death, 
ensuring they thrive and generate children 
so they can expand empire of control." 

"Detach yourself from desire of affection 
and refrain from grasping for wealth or power, 
for they blind you to end goal of your action, 
so work well without expecting reward, 
and you will succeed in securing hope, 
thus you must kill those who stand in your way." 

Nodding at clear purpose of his harsh words, 
Alfredo commands Kelley to drive, 
who pilots car up to the restaurant entrance 
where rival members exit from the door, 
then Al blasts them with bullets of calm faith 
to secure his position as Godfather.
