Wems Henry Temmy Psalm 7

How long will you and I murmur
For a bowl with no water before guest
Unto our Creator though a termer 
Placed for the purpose of a basin 
Before and after quenching a recurrent stomach's quest
Get hands in and out for feed so hasten 

Amongst thoughts a light beep beep beep
Of trash jaws which rush words so deep

Let your eyes be off
Have mercy on us, father
We are still mortal

John will not side his heart when not given chance
Game is not over but his mind has started yelling
The one he woos for quite long make him live in trance 
That in the dream, thoughts of him are helling 
For her sake though he has no better plan
Yet he couldn't stop acting a serious fan

But it wasn’t until he was forty-two 
That he skipped such act; coming true

Fill our hearts with laugh
Let mercy cast off bother
Dear Being- immortal

Janet stoops so high with hope in mind to be the one
Formations are lined up to match into his head 
Whenever she thinks of him, she sees them having fun
Though she finds it difficult to be on his bed 
And whenever she tries to try out her luck
Traditional heritage makes her trial thunderstruck

It gets to a point where she can’t try again
Not even anymore and consider herself a grown-up to bathe in the rain 

Let your eyes be off
Have mercy on us, father
We are still mortal

We get buried under tents in cemeteries
By senseless talks, reasoning been sent off, throwing roses into a hole
Running those lazy lips and saliva briefing commentaries 
The giant stuffed setback you never wanted and lament by soul
Is bound to occur, so stop this WHY ME  attitude
Overshadowed counting blessings in pure gratitude

Nobody loves like You truly do
Your thoughts to us are rain not dew 

Fill our hearts with laugh
Let mercy cast off bother
Dear Being- immortal

Those nights splayed like open books
Hooking soggy pillows at humid peace
Silently until the next morning riot
Unlike the days splattered joyous looks
Letting closed-open eyes dream to sublease
Minute after minute hiring different diet

Life is beautiful as You designed its balance
Nature is carnal as it keeps seeking quality in abundance

Let your eyes be off
Have mercy on us, father
We are still mortal
