His soul was woven From a fool's whispers By the hands of a ghost On a loom of lies           . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .                  . . . . . . . . . . . . . .                         His condemnation                         Was not so much                         Predicated on the Lord                         Or what part of his body                         The Devil had enjoyed                                  eaten and spit upon the street                The whispers                The echos of whispers                Troubled him the most                Especially at night                When light breezes                Muted the voices                In an interruptive cadence                Leaving the words unconnected                         The burden                         His own                         To fill in the blank spaces                         Connecting the dots                         With a broken pencil                         And an eraser                         Worn to its metal edge
