Poem
Now that the task has been done and victory has been won I am waiting for you to ask me to come Now that the task has been won And the battle has just began I am waiting for you to take me over Now that the task is done And the devil is on the run I want to salute you with a glass of white rum It is time for me to take my leave And move to a higher degree The job is already complete And you must lock down the projects and come The bearer is running around the town With his beautiful daughter dressed in a gown Mr. Taylor the city bearer Is always running around with hands on paper There is so much you can do When you have the handle at the table If you had asked me to come I would have already come If you had asked me to come I would have left long ago If you had invited me to take part in the show I would have sang a beautiful song to make your heart glow And make the humming birds elate you with beautiful words I would follow you to the highest peak Just to listen to you speak We would have listened to the stream running high And commune with the sun before it dies Heaven and earth would dance with glee and the Sun would have solved this age old mystery Since you did not asked me to come I am getting ready to go on the run And my journey will begin before the sun goes down I will fly around the East, and enter the Midwest And cruise around the north, and glide around the south Then I will make a U-turn around in the East to meet the beast And unburden my trouble at west minister Until I figure out what everything is about I will take a long journey around the world To filter some of the pent up energy that is buried inside me Or I can take a short-cut through the loop And later we can regroup at the end of the loop The days are getting shorter and the sun is getting hotter But mercy has come to my rescue with a nice shower of rain before we enter the lane I have been contemplating for a long time about the wisdom of mankind The very thing that we seek Are the same things that are already complete You have the same argument the same disagreement And you run about with your body and arm that no one can disarm How much longer do I have to wait? Before you come and meet me at the gate Destiny is on the run and I want to leave before the sun goes down The trees are standing by and the clouds are dancing about in the sky The birds are running around with a message that is profound Observe, listen and look at the message projected at you The distraction will give you away so don’t delay The heaven and the sky will be on the run too And seas and the mountain will become one The stars and the moon will dance at midnight To end this year long tumultuous fight It is just a quarter past three in the afternoon And I am humming a little tune I can hear you shouting out my name And your voice is just the same If you had asked me to come I would have drop everything and come It is a quarter past three in the afternoon I am still waiting for you to ask me to come Don’t delay come before heaven take me away.
