SILVER TONGUE
At first, you watched in awe
Observing the impact of WORD
Mountains moved
The Earth groaned
The Ocean Roared
...in silence
It got old, quickly
As your feet moved
Darting from ear to ear
Stirring up your brew
Bringing boiling water
...to whistle
Put your money
Where your mouth is
And so silver
Dropped upon the table
Of thirsty men
...to purchase
A god without a name
No notoriety to blame
Deliverance and healing
Of nobody from nowhere
...to sing
Dead and gone
Followers pinned down
No one will rise
When ink and pen resound
...twisted truth
You gnawed the tongue
With deeds of terror
Making children bow
To sowing your seed
...in gall
The one place
You couldn't touch
In the process of Word's
Natural death
...gives LIFE eternal
