Analysis of Leave me to this world
Mark cloutier 1972 (Kaneohe)
Leave me to this world
And I will build the day
And construct the night
Then divide them both
By the sun, moon, and stars
As they fall to my word
Which shook the heavens
And a world of another
Who will come to a future
Of a beginning and end
As all will rise again to a world unknown
To this region and season
Where those who plant
Their words in the minds
Of those who understood
But the hearts who knew not
Were mindless and bled
Out impurities of mouth
Defiling the minds of children
As fathers and mothers
And even sisters and brothers
Leave a house empty
And swept and garnished leaving a seven
More worse than the first
