Permanent Accompanist

Sprawled beneath the overpass
He preached about the time to come
But when it was revealed we left him
He gave up on everyone

They used to sway, their bodies shaking violently;
Tears ran down their face, begging to be relieved
See shapes fast forward, warping colors not perceived. Footprints gather in a public square to demonstrate to you

What it means… to receive

Be sure to make straight your necktie
The noose you drape around your throat
In honor of the hand that starves you
A tithing / sacrificial goat
Your fetishes so obvious to those who would take the time to feel the hemming of your wardrobe
Appreciate the stitching line
All wrapped up in how it used to be
(a thinning coat over conspiracy)
Let feet gather conspicuously;
A parade of killers to assembly
