For I am
I don´t think
I don´t have to go around doing that
No
I don´t think
For I know I am
I´m a churchless savoury
I´ve began listening
For listening is the water of god.
And I´ve given up concluding
Lynching others and getting myself
all hung up
I don´t think, for I am
I´ve begun to get hard
as hard as a rock of god
I don´t think about anything
I am all of it.
My words, my excluded rhyme
And me not considering
myself rude.
