"Identical Rhyme"
by: Eric L. Boddie
In the country, hogs eat slop
In the city, women like to shop
And really, where do stereotypes stop
Where do the lie and the Truth clash
Why must only just a few control all the cash
And why do some inquiries have to appear crass
Is it all in a scheme
Magnified by the virtual stream
And why can't some things be as they seem
It could possibly be because of a hidden payer
Or maybe through some fantastic action of a player
And, for that, you must know that anything is possible through Prayer
That's the daily action that should never end
Because it allows God To Extend
And Enter The Spiritual Engine
Pumping His Way through that which we bleed
So He Can Hold us tighter than a baby's hair bead
And we will Ascend To A Heavenly Breed
