Donkey Times
Donkey times we live
those of us on earth
calling themselves alive
do it as best you can
let the earth feel you
and mouth yawns bliss
give your fellows peace
keep trouble in your bag
hang worry up the tree
secure your mouth now
save your heart kicks
loyal donkey be you
when this time ends
your mouth is left here
nothing to plead cases
live on earth as a donkey
loyal one lives forever
the prodigal perishes once
