Black Lipstick
Once upon a time, God butterfly kissed America.
but American leadership turned arrogant
this flavor of arrogance has no soul mirror.
for it feels it is perfect and brilliant
and must control the dull and disfigured.
Know God is donning black lipstick
America is bracing for the icy kiss
it is futile to fight-flee or hide
pray that the good people are spared.
Nothing can reverse this cascade of death
this relentless violence and mayhem of men
the vipers are slithering out of the bag
aiming for stiff-blood-soaked necks
pray the good people are spared.
Something is stirring in the black mist
the desperate masses can sense it
it is the approaching rumble of global destiny...
misery dancing with time and ancient scripture.
A slow slide down the frozen black stairs
pray that the good people are spared.
