A Man Does Weep
1 I knowingly sat on forests, On a bench, staring at a park, I wept softly into my hands, Troubled over some jail time, Locked inside a desolate cage, For a crime that I was blamed for.
2 I noticed two uniformed pigs, Working inside a concrete pen, I swiftly stood and took my flight Journeying towards wilderness, Hunting to find sanctuary Or they will take my last few breaths. 3 I found peace. I had a girlfriend, My arm tight around her shoulder, Hearts joined with unbreakable string. She lay motionless in my arms, Sleeping naked in Rose Red Blood. That night I did nothing but weep.
4 A sanctuary found my soul, A sturdy shack in the country, I told them all what had happened, About the sin and my one girl. They smiled. Gave me a blanket. Safe in a deceit ridden world.
5 The next day, I heard the door knock. Two Pigs entered carrying guns. A Rat pointed them towards me. The swine smiled and raised their guns. I was their goat and they grabbed me. In cuff I said my last goodbyes.
6 The cell stood desolate and cold. Nothing green shone within my sight. I stared endlessly at the bars. Weeping my eyes to sleep each night. It was not long before I thought; Why did I kill my girl that night? © 2009 John MorrisFeatured Review
