Angel Wings In Halves
Slashed and burnt to golden brown
Frowned upside down, prithee now
Come diagonally to get here clown
Romp in delight as you were never found
Wanting, were you?
Wanton greedy bastard, turn back now
Carry on then in your mortal sin, how
Do you do it darling? Tongue in cheek
Take a peek into your shadow, we'll
Not find you meek, will we?
Peasantry, just busy yourself elsewhere
For you are half the man you used to be
Half a sentence.
Just does not do you justice, betray me
For a dollar and a dime, walk behind the times
You spit on me as you past
Willows on the ridge in a hurricane, spent
More time with I, I implore you to look above
Before you too, find your wings lying there
On hallowed ground, soggy, muddy,
Halved
