i have a stone to write upon • it was a timely gift • i wore it down with sands of time • which through my fingers drift • i'm writing on the tablet • which is of marble made • there's not much more to add to it • i do not need your aid • I've so wanted to carve the end • but it was God's to write • i don't know what He will do now what's perfect in His sight • now i'm simply waiting • writing out these lines • hoping i won't be punished further • for my many crimes • i died to them already • most folks don't care to know • my old man was a gonner • many years ago • but though God forgives • and though God forgets • human beings don't want to • they haven't done so yet • they fuss at me and fight me • they dis me and they yell • it's too much for me to handle • i feel like i'm in hell • but i am not complaining • i died to the details • i am just a dead man • and a dead man tells no ================TALES=============== \\//////\\//\\\///\//////\\///\\//\\////\//////\\///\\//
