Poems from the Garden

A wake-up call, A veil must fall,

He always spoke in ways of god,

Unfortunately he spoke that way a lot.

He spoke simply, of knaves and farms,

Like he spoke in the name of god.

Like the oil on the water,

It leaves a glistening wake behind it;

Eyes are like the rays of dawn.

Flames stream from a mouth;

Sparks of fire shoot out the nostrils,

Dragon tall, shakes the castle walls.

So can you blame them,

When they say fuck off?

Nothing on earth is its equal,

A creature without fear,

And it comes for us,

The reign of law.
