Never Say Don't Do This
Arrogance hides behind softness
ego spits out a pent up venom
slithering down the tree to eve,
Adams rib spread poison to her
both are to blame.. Inventors of prayer.
Today we still have them in society
give a piece of bread to the poor
help the needy.. as they belong,
Fiercely guarded priviliged need
time for all.. to realize their greed.
If there were an afterlife for us
those who fought would weep vomit
for the kind of word or may I help,
Put the devils lot in the one pot
If nothing else.. they'd let the poor rot.
