Delta
8-8-15


Of our Hanes in the delta of the Nile
For growing pains
Staying cool like it's going out of style
No such torrential rains
Back and forth I walk one more mile
Of our Tahpanhes
We line up in single file
Moderating the air flow
As one to let again Jesus know
Behold I will bring my servant
And tomorrow I will go
Who makes the bed that can't be made
Rising like a flood
My bills are paid
Another one for Azariah
I get a little bit of help along the way
As all of the proud men spoke
By the lighting of another smoke
Do I speak falsely!
Will I go again broke!










Message To Jews In Egypt
8-8-15


Met another sister
Encountered another distant brother
I reach my inner Mister and call up Mother
Playing the Simon and Garfunkel debut album
He brought joy into my heart
Taking elders with them
They teach at Succoth
For thorns in the wilderness and briers
I feel like Lying down
But I had too much caffeine to sleep
The hour herself retires
To beat down the tower of Penuel
To bang the gong and chime the bell
Go up and slay them
Take away the ornaments on camels' necks
Where players deal with their full decks...








Into Elephantine
8-8-15


To the sword
Those appointed for the sword
For the Lord
This here will serve as my cord
A river with many branches
Enough water purchased
As much as one thirsty can afford
South into Elephantine
One of the most interesting maps I have seen
West into Migdol
I bide the day in rhyme
O, who will speak with kind words
You have seen all of the calamity
I bring upon cities of Judah
I need all my grain
Even for Allah and Buddha
For Beth Shemesh
And coffee hot and fresh
So my fury and my anger were poured out
In the streets and they are wasted and desolate
Weary enough to lie down in clean sheets
How do you always be faithful
I am broken in more ways than one...
