From the smallest of handbells to bells that are heavy,
bells of all types make a large bevy.

but deep inside I didn't know
something not right in my piece of clay

a mind that truly didn't really know
having a heart that had no feeling
spiritually it...

Hope cost less than
a jug bottle of dirt cheap booze

The lights stream out the tunnel,
The tube stops at the platform, 
Passengers interchange.

I wonder if the man in the suit,
Ever stopped to think about that guitar player,
The busker he never thought to spare a little change

Impatient floodwaters at dams
Waiting for shutters to open, 
A hodgepodge of puppets
Excited to perform: at deep slumber, 
Waiting for my eyes to close,

I reach a different galaxy: wondering!
I flow with a...

"I shall carry out my orders Lord!"
