Kingdom Of The Son

Parts of the last verse are taken from the 1st chapter of Colossians

Kingdom Of The Son

question

do i first bind the wild beasts
that have eaten too much, too often, too many
and have distorted all that is pure and holy
that maybe this time we can get
to the heart of the matter

or

do i go opposite and say
reveal yourselves you filthy bastards
then after dodging the ugly missiles
distorted faces, chilled shoulders
mop up the pieces (if that be possible)

cause

if things go on as they always have
we smile, we chat, we talk of nothing
and later i run home
and want to go hide in a corner
what good can come of it

lord

let me be filled with the knowledge of your will
with all spiritual wisdom and understanding
so that i may walk in a manner worthy of you
to please the one who in everything
has rescued me from the domain of darkness
