Mummy Benny Righteous River
The path of the righteous man
Is beset on either side
Of the torrential river rapids
But i have all the horses on my side
And there are no more fish left to eat
Since the water turned into blood
To be fed upon by a swarm of locusts
In the delta that God forsake
Until the only thing apart from sand left
Was an apparition or a mirage
Of an oasis in a desert
