Amazing Grace
I cried I am
Whatever’s the heart of you
who knows? I spy
ego lurking inside
Come in, come on
That rumbling what is it?
I heard it once
Really heard it’s a sin
Just walk on by
Recall full-well that every word
of fire you scrawled
I blew like so much chalk
Find out! Santé!
But don’t touché down the hatch
and wonder what
took us wrong way about
The emperor
Is severed to banishment
to bid his end
bye while dribbling red shrimp
You’ll know him by
His deeds will be tucked in a
Hawaiian shirt
better late than hello
