Slither Slider Sludge

Slither Slider Sludge from the quagmire to the dust we stand to face the mountain with the rage of shadows past I am anger I am pain I heard the shadows felt the rain caste the feelings out in vain Listen to the words I say feel the warmth of summers day we fight again a waste of time why should it be this way Slither Slider Sludge perhaps we leave the dust a ray of light a slight decay perhaps I see the light of day We took unto this home of ours a child of the night a child caste in shadows past his light of slivers plight His cry within the wilderness I could not turn away and yet with money speaking we could not have him stay Begone the the thoughts of money I could not turn away I could hear, the child heart crying I had to let him stay my heart reached out to cover him in mantels of my soul together we must shoulder then the defects of our gaols And yet we see the start of light the growth of wisdoms road as school results begin to shake the devil from the toad
