Songs of Sacrilege (and Simple Injustices) Book Two, Vol. 1 'i know it all'
"Finder's and Keeper's"
I found a hat
in my trunk,
gray cloth up front
tannish gray mesh in the back.
There is a tan patch
on the front of the hat,
white letters read USA
with a red outline.
EST. 1776,
in white letters underneath.
There are rust stains
all over it
"Keep America Racist Still"
A white man
can find truth
where there is none.
That is our gift,
to the world.
Whether it's DEI
or be it BLM
we'll find a way
to make the profit speak.
We're peak,
the best of evolution.
The pinnacle,
of procreation
What better offering
to our God
can we make,
but to offer up the things
that we consider to be fate?
It is our world,
or the one that we inherited.
Who are we to object
with what's unfurling?
So the current sweeps our feet
and we pray
for the fall to take our seat.
But the conveyor belt
doesn't stop for fingers.
"Tyrant"
Glory, Glory—to the King of Man
the one we chose to save us.
Glory to the man
who gave us the bread.
Glory to the man
who built us our walls.
Glory to the man
who takes us down
into
the
promised
land.
Hallelujah—to the King of Man
the one we chose to save us.
Hallelujah to the man
who makes sure we're fed
Hallelujah to the man
who protects the light in us.
Hallelujah to the man
who brings us down
into
the
den
of lions.
Glory to the man
who makes sure we are tested
for the time when we must fight.
For a lamb is defenseless,
but a goat is the sacrifice.
"Roads traveled, and not"
From the mountains,
through the Queen City
to the Steel's shitty
bars,
and back..
I've seen it all
Trials, tribulations,
coitus and fibulations
We're rotten.
I can't be proud
of the state of any union
when our world is so far from
an onion.
It's supposed to be layered.
Good and Bad
are both very sad
when they just make us
get real mad now..
But if the choice is this,
can we acknowledge that
without hating
what it means, though.
"I Know It All"
I know someday,
that I will die
and no more words
will flow.
I know someday
that I will die
and no more love
will show.
So I sing today,
to praise my way—
as I shuffle through
the void now.
For tomorrow's coming,
until it's not.
But I'll continue
to appreciate the sunrise.
