Wheat

Angry as the bees

Angry as the chosen twelve

He searches for his keys

Underneath my heavy bedsheets

 

I have no silver

To buy my field of redemption

Or to hand my body

to the rotting roots and rocks

below

 

I've still kept my head

 

He still speaks to me

Through leather seats

He lays down the law

I lay down my wheat

 

I have not blasphemed

your Holy Ghost

But

that was always something that

other people

did

So who knows?

 

I still hang my head
