David Byrne Poet Rhyme

Sacred

Sacred is, what sacred does
Do not challenge, do not fuzz
Inner peace is all I need
Rid my human world of greed?

“Greed is good”, I heard it said
Makes me rich and keep ahead
Sacred is this concept now
So to worship, here I bow

Greedy is, what greedy does
Do not challenge, do not fuzz
Inner peace is all I need
Rid me of my sin indeed?
