Red Rum

Red rum trickles down the walls, red rum runs down the TV screen, red rum live streamed for all to see. Red rum stains bright white bed sheets,not enough holy bleach To get them clean. Red rum stains Persian prayer rugs not enough hadith tissues to blot them out. Red rum rains down on all the billions, red rum blinding all the eyes. red rum stained executive orders,not enough biblical napkins to wipe clean the lies. red rum dripping down from your chin red rum stains your lips. Red rum feeds your gardens, red rum helps the mustard grow. Red rum feeds the children red rum feeds the soul.
