The Old and Wise
The collection.
The doom.
The seers.
The boom!
The old and wise
Think of heaven.
A sheet of music is played,
And death is conquered.
No stick of dynamite
Can kill the souls
Of elect ones.
Music tells of the ancient.
The angels and
Kings of old
Tell a story that is
Always bold.
The knights
And the fights.
The castles
And the plagues.
Riding horse-back
And medieval raids.
Burning bodies
To quarantine.
A singing
Bard of old
Buys beer and gives gold,
To sing and dance, is told.
To rhyme in songs
With pints and throngs.
Making merry and cheers
With smiles and no tears.
Mighty and no lies.
The burning bush is wise.
The serpent tells of lies,
And will be burning in hell, no surprise.
