Sa tell me then y' ungrateful little man
Who talks o' paradise an' virgins and calls me infidel for nay believin' An' you sir wi' y' long black cloak an' pretty beads Are ye sa' then ungrateful y' create a heaven? Where did y' get the nerve ta' be sa mean As to denigrate this gift y' ha'e been gi'en Is there nothin' then tha' meets wi' y'r approval? There're men y' callin' pagan heathen swine Who recognize this gift o' God divine And treat it for the wonder that is there Wi' tries t' leave it be'er for their care So their begotten will na ha' t' be forgotten As followers o' Satan's sweet desire To turn this emerald garden into Hell an fire By sayin' an' believin' they could better this They'll never realize the joy they miss Sa tell me then y' sweet ungrateful men D'y' really think tha' y' c'n be'er this? © 2008 Donald Meikle |
