“Thank You, Lord; make my life around You be centered
Though trial-blistered and faith in You had faltered

Outside the city where the pomegranates grow,
There you stole my heart and I didn't even know,
Under the shade of tall trees in the green land,

Here I sit on Julie's couch
Yeah, I know I've gotten fat
my tummy has become a pouch

if I’d mind you sitting there
in your Bandit’s mask?

On a beautiful balmy morning, 
Breezy and pleasant after a drizzle;
Birds came out of their temporary shelters, 
And chirped and chattered and whistled.

Stow away the congeries of aches
overtly attenuating the life-force
Joints grinding bones as growing muscles waked
Oft, stomping like an apoplectic horse...

And surf the channels on tv
With no apparent skills

Give us food,
And give us hunger too
so we can eat,
We lost our appetite
we know not when.

But we live not,
Give us a life to live,
We died
we know not when.

Give us nights to sleep
And dreams...
