All but a grain of sand<\/p>\n
Sitting under a wildflower<\/p>\n
or am I yielding a sword of power<\/p>\n
so much strength in my simple hand<\/p>\n
Is my cage of wide bars<\/p>\n
such, so I cannot reach the stars<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
There, a spoken demise<\/p>\n
From a ragged hungry dog<\/p>\n
or a prisoner amidst the flog<\/p>\n
So fearful, yet strangely wise<\/p>\n
Heaven\u2019s storm is brewing<\/p>\n
and Love\u2019s heart stewing<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Birds share a meager place<\/p>\n
content with very few seeds<\/p>\n
carrying out God\u2019s given deeds<\/p>\n
as we ne\u2019er see their gentle face<\/p>\n
We take credit for their life<\/p>\n
concerned to cure only our strife<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Those glorious servants so loyal<\/p>\n
their work forever unpaid<\/p>\n
the butcher\u2019s knife has been laid<\/p>\n
for a feast prepared so Royal<\/p>\n
Where does this misuse arise<\/p>\n
within our cruel assumption of prize<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This cry for human blood<\/p>\n
a lifeline to the prayers of earth<\/p>\n
The answer: a song of mirth<\/p>\n
avoiding hatreds mighty flood<\/p>\n
We know not of tomorrow<\/p>\n
amidst the blinding of our sorrows<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The sun rises<\/p>\n
despite the resistance to its course<\/p>\n
We, unkindly, of little remorse<\/p>\n
with our corruption of assizes<\/p>\n
Yeh\u2026 the is believing<\/p>\n
and a Godly hand receiving<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
