I think you might find
the homeless
the pitiless
the thankless and
the worthless
the godliness
the goodness
the merciless
and that's just the Bible
that weighs on my mind.

don't eat your greens
don't get no dessert
tough love eh?

well
we do it the way it was taught
don't
get caught doing it any other way.

These are the daydreams I wake to
that break through
cultural barriers and crash like
waves on the shore.


I want a bit more than
what's on your mind,
I've dined on and climbed on
carried on and it goes on
the list is listing and if I'm
sinking
I'd better learn how to swim
