Bricks
6-7-10


The remnant shall return
Unto the mighty God
Even in times when homes
Were not built with bricks of sod
And saying I'm too old is like a cuss word
When all that is yet to be is absurd
The remnant shall return
And the naïve shall yet learn
As the high tech citizens
Have their CD's to burn
The remnant shall come back
Where they find gain in what they lack
As the remnant shall claim
All of which they lost
Where we conduct studies
Of the Passover and the Pentecost
The remnant shall return...








Destruction And Construction
6-7-10


Their indignation shall cease
And mine anger in their destruction
As in war we will make peace
And on the main roads
So put to work is construction
As tobacco is purchased for the paltry price
As such will be the least of every vice
Their indignation shall stop
As that which is yet to be
Is as the cash crop
And in their indignation
There shall come a pause
Where that which is according
To our laws
Selah....










Sheep And Snakes
6-7-10


Looking to Samaritans
Superstitious
Looking to Pharisees
Both hypocritical and malicious
As what we know is not always what it seems
As what we believe will be contrary
To our hopes and dreams
O, what do we do
when words will no longer suffice
O, what will we say
When we see the need to pay our price
Looking to believers
To hope that they've got it
Looking to the faithful
To see that they lack what it takes
Where we compare the sheep with the snakes....












Eraser
6-7-10


It seems as hypocrisy
To wear a cross necklace
With a beer t-shirt
As in such a contradiction
I might get hurt
It seems wrong to sin like such
And to say I am a man of purity
Will eat his pork and ham
It seems a contradiction
To say that I Am
Yet still commit sin
As in the places where I lose
Indeed I will win
Taking the chalk eraser into my hand
As he that rubs it out will be chosen to understand
It seems as opposition
To be yet say not
But what can we do
But apply what we've been taught....












Belitung
6-7-10


It comes to pass
In that day
That his burden
Shall be taken off thy shoulder
As so is past the month of May
As now we bear the weight of our boulder
As we see our visions of the island of Belitung
As we are yet to express songs that are yet unsung
And I look to my cat to see her eyes opened wide
As in this life we are subject to esteem and pride
It comes to pass in that day that life begins
Following the month of May
It comes to pass
That newly mown will be our grass...










Incommensurable
6-8-10


We are yet to counterbalance
Counteract and compensate
We are yet to practice love
Even in the face of hate
We are yet to see our way out
Yet to find what such is all about
And tomorrow I will not have what I need
As tonight I feast on birdseed
As things are incommensurable
To measure or compare
As life is just as short
As the shaved locks of my hair
And we look at the Samuel Adams advertisement
To see that we will want more
When granted our wish
As we are not satisfied
When provided our dish...
