The World Is Flat
The world is flat , you are not here
There is no wind ,no still small voice
Right dimensions disappear
Dulled by loss,too wan for fear
There is no sin,there is no choice
The world’s a board , you are not there
I plucked no roses for your bier
There is no God, there is no Christ
The vertical has disappeared
I do not burn,I shed no tears
There is no love, there are no wise.
The world is flat , you are not here
Disconnected from what’s near
Where walks the lamb,the sacrifice?
All directions disappeared
Dirac’s God did shake the dice
Salvation cannot come from priests
The world is flat , you are not here
The wrong side of the world is fear
