The Bushes
Here I am sitting in the bushes
with my hands and feet tied up infront of me
my heart is aching my spirit is breaking
and the rain clouds are dancing around in
the heavens.
You have made a mockery of me in the street and
you have insulted my innate dignity,
I have asked you for help but you have been swaring
over my head and you wanted me dead.
Not so fast my friend it is not my time yet
and nobody will have to fret because the higher powers are
proctecting and guiding me
Listen to what I am saying and I want you to listen carefully ,
the earth is swelling and plates are shifting
I am going to send you a terrible storm just before
the break of the break of dawn and your rivers
and gorges will overflow and you will not have anywhere
to go.The seas will rise up to the sky and answer to
my midnight cry. Bodies will lay a float and you will not
escape in a boat. Your young and old will perish in the flood
your bridges and roads will be uprooted
In the mud .
cars will swim on river banks and your street
will be diluted with mud and sand.
And when the night is over my spirit will cross over,
and I will leave the dead to bury the dead.
I will watch the destruction from a distance until it is all over.
You are a controlling freak and concrete is buried under
Your feet you have created a cult of men and you
are hiding them under the miserable den, they cuss and fuss
and explictly tell women who to go and suck and
That perverted animal inside of you will one day rise up
And destroy you.
Through the flood and the fire
I have always have one desire and that is to love
Until the passion grows deep, love until I am in
the middle of the street love in the burning bushes
Love when you have nothing to cook
Love when you are riding on top of the flood
Love when you are drowning in the mud
And when you have no more words to say,
Just say the word love.
And love will love
