Poems
Oct 2021
As if it's gold in them there hills
There is poetry in poverty
Incandescence in the darkness
of their day
And through taxes, we will stumble
mumbling praises as we crumble and
enlist into the grumbling of the
hungry on the streets
And we'll get to know the bible freaks
who give free food
For fifty-two weeks of the year,
fear the lord they say
I tell them,
'I fear each and every ******' day
You fear the lord and I'll get the
cardboard for my bed'
There'll be charities to help
themselves while helping you,
It's a wolves den in a zoo out here
And they say
Fear the Lord!
I fear for my sanity
lost to the bible and the charity.
