El Wisdom

I do pray to the government and the future,

I do see the complacent and our need for a feature,

I'm here, 
no race, 
no peers-

just 27 ears and you with your clear,

I do pray for the government and an indelible fact of diminishment,
and thanks for today's best beer,

I do pray for the government and an interior relic I never knew to be anything but a scratch on my side-

a whip for the pride,

or even a demon of the behind.

I do pray,

I do say I love this life I live,

even though I had to live-
I had to say die,

I do pray and want more and to even cry.
