Eating the Tangerine

Blank page __freedom of speech
Tangerine aroma floats on the air
Off in the distance I hear the hawk screech
In my imagination I can see the pair

The tangerine taste as I had hoped
Slightly tart but yet slightly sweet
Many people are strung out on dope
Off in the distance the crow will eat meat

God has supplied food for them as treat
The tangerine is slowly consumed 
The old man still lives in the moon that's concrete
This old world is surely doomed

The aroma lingers on my hands
The scent is wonderful nature's treat
Soon this earth will tremble angel stands
Jesus in the clouds Saints will meet

Praise to Him!
