Do the right thing my friend and let your mind be at peace
and with some soulful prayers the light there will increase.
Our whole life in the world is made up of actions good and bad
but if we do the right thing we'll rarely have a cause to be sad.

tell me sweet love of mine-

aren't you tired of always asking the same question over and over again?

I am.

There was a time you'd find
its untidy nest at the top of the lot
in the front room of apartment zero nine

Then, miles down time's treadmill
the creature first took notice, took a look
at its surroundings said,

"My world's color could be described as, and called, shame."

It split itself in half
The legs grew a head
The torso grew wings

While the grounded body kept vigil,
kept the common company
of rapists, liars, and thieves,
the winged being pushed off the Earth,
never to return to shame
as an ape with one short face,
but as a thing with a thousand names.
