In the spirit of Lent, I decided to give up taking God's name in vain, and the f-word. Not just the obvious f-word... ALL OF THEM. More to come on this breaking story.
I was the sheep, shorn in the Spring Having never been before shorn, Afraid of my bareness Unfamiliar Pleased at my freedom Then I was the lamb Hauled off to the slaughter By my Caretaker, Smiles in his eyes, As I went along with him Now I am the leopard The littlest of the big cats Solitary But what a jaw Protected in the trees
That your eyes may always Look into themselves Smiling at what is reflected That you never lower your head for any reason To anyone But face everything Chin up That you never change your insides Because of what's on the outside That you are never afraid Of any of your feelings But know that are fleeting That you remember you never have to carry Anything too heavy That you never withhold love Understanding and compassion That you take these things gratefully from others Filling your heart with them That you may quickly forget & easily forgive Any unkindness you may encounter But act and speak keeping in mind The weight it may place on others That the only stones you cast Are into the water That your mouth is etched with lines of laughter But never lines of worry That you accept the occurrence of injustice But never stop trying to fight them That you are grounded in reality But take frequent flight in fairy tales
Have a rough day did we? Rough month maybe? How about a rough life? Man, that was rough. Raise your hand if you’re singled out Raise your hand if you’re anonymous Put them both up if you got fucked Hold them higher if you’re broken Like lame horses Like lame ducks Can’t do much but we’re still here If we’re lucky we can fix it Make a nice loser’s club Let’s start a Support Group The Caged Things The Committee running everything Fucking everything up Trademark phrases like “You think you have it rough?” What’re you looking at? I think I’ll cut a bitch. It’s that kind of season.
