Mama Pray For Me

MAMA PRAY FOR ME In your deepest chamber Mama,pray for me To know who deserves my door and who worths not my window For i have seen those who destroyed a man Attend his funeral to console his widow Pray me to understand the pain and harm Of such sayings that mandates betrayal on life I am but troubled when men spread their arms For the closer the embrace the deeper the knife Deadlier is the act when men and demons toast I have heard tales of guests who poisoned their host With the right hand do men bury their hatchets And from their left hand strike with sharpened matchetes Say a prayer for me and repeat my petition For these days even the devil is rebirthed a saint What better meal have i to offer my dentition Since the teeth now bites the fingers that feeds it?
