You Never Do

You Never Do You say that I am skinny but you give me nothing to eat. You say that I am quiet but you don’t come and talk with me You say that I need a friend but you leave me vulnerable in The open guts of the enemies. You say that I am stink yet you Give me no soap to wash my body. You say that I am working too hard But you send no one to help me. Here I am in the open space looking closely at the race, with noise around and a bunch of vagabond surround me with hearts packed with stones and a conscience unknown .Filthy hands and stirring the dish and their head beating on the concrete and washing the dirty dish. Hypothetical sound playing in the ground and they are walking around In long gown, with the religious pants dropping underneath their bottom and hands sliding into their gowns for a pocket that is not found oh how I loathe this disposition. I watched the eyes looking up and down for a word that cannot be found and the crown with its punitive weight moving from side to side in the middle of the day. You stand and watched the philistines descend upon me, you watched them hauled and pull me on the ground, you did nothing to help and then you say that you are heaven bound.Oh yes your heaven is up there But my heaven is right here on earth. My heaven gives life and it comes with many years of sacrifice. You play the music loud to break my eardrums but I let the sound pass right through and filters in thin air. Your mountain is getting low and you don’t have much further to go You watched them mocked me when the vagrants unpacked on me but my spirit drives them back to their destiny. They run like wolves down the street erupting the cities heart beat. I am here and you are there and I have nothing to fear. You cannot mix religion with business that is hypocrisy in the third degree and you will not get not one more penny from me. I cannot be wooed y some religious song, and you will be hanged like every bad man and your accomplice will pay their dues with you and I want to tell you that you cannot do.
