Avoid
On a cliff I walk astride
A narrow path, trod and
Worn to mud, slippery
And fear in me sees
My body hit the rocks
Below with a fleshy
Bony thud! So I avoid!
On the street I walk behind
Some dodgy men that look
Suspect and fear in me sees
My body slumped in a dingy
Alley, my flesh and bones
Are wrecked! So I avoid!
On a bench inside a church
I see a crucifix hanging and
On it a man with thorns in
His head is pinned there
Languishing and fear in
Me sees my body scourged
And flesh and bones
Ravaged! So I avoid!
