Bricks of Clay

A poem on the nature of tyranny

Slaying the foe, protecting your own

Coloring the landscape with an alien tone

Include them all are the words they say

Meanwhile, it is them for which I will pray

A ticket to their carnival of sin

Buy one yet never get in

How long they ask, how long has it been?

The writing on the wall says half past ten

Caution and the wind come together like mice and men

Bricks of Clay no longer satiate

The life of him who is first to birth

Shall satisfy even the tyrants thirst

The blood of the lamb adorning the post

Sparing the life, at least for most

The pharaohs heart too hard to boast

Milk and honey, this story be naught but funny

For frogs and freedom share one thing

Hell and high water, are both to blame

For which is better we cannot discern

For the meek will inherit, a lesson will be learned
