Bringing In the Sheaves

there comes a time
in life, we have to
grow up
that don't mean
we have to slow up
we don't have to fight
just show up
sit listen, and don't
interrupt
we all need that
we all see that
we can't never go back
so we just, move ahead
plant seed and grow from that
some times, when I
look at my payroll
I swear, I'm working for
Pharaoh
sometimes, I'm
up to my neck
so deep, I can't see
praying
God please...part some sea
for me
overwhelmed
in need of privacy
when I hear a baby cry
I'm out, stick a pacifier
in the mouth of humanity
some candy, a ring pop
"IN GOD WE TRUST"
we're just, out here
trying to live, but
no thanks... to the cops
we'll all be gone
before we crop
