wolf in sheep's clothing

Gregory Ramos 1961 (Azusa)



we found shelter
 the warm rain fell
 the shepherds in the field
 pride before the fall
 everyone listens
 but nobody hears
 stand before the crowds
 venom sprayed
 and laughs out loud
 pride before the fall
 he is held just above
 knows the write words
 for he knows all
 pride before the fall
 low to the ground stalks
 his prey , for one is enough
 to eat all day
 when the rain flees
 clouds dissolve
 the sons light shines
 on this predator
 blood stained he smiles
 for us forgiveness
 is key sunday he
 will be out to devour
 without thought it goes on
 till everything is gone
 pride before the fall
