A Psalm in different voices


A Psalm by Two Jokers


C'mon Be the Devil's advocate
Let me juggle God's advocacy
Together we will waltz merrily
Gamely throw together catch
Maybe a tango too
Push and pull and push
Mix and mix and match
C'mon let's join this ongoing circus
Where the graceful gymnast is focus' distillate
The Arc a graceful shape in nature
The raptured viewer the finest nectar drinker.
In good time we will do our funnies,
Jauntily scratch our coloured clouded heads.

But there ! But there ! We share
Our understood labours fairly well
Yet forget them all too well too;
What of the roaring lions and the pretty finches
What of the hissing snakes and the lithe fishes
What of the calm elephants and the bright dolphins
What of the green trees for that matter ?
Brave Father Sun
Will himself take care of himself.
So too will our bearer
Mother Earth.

A Modern Psalm


C'mon You be Devil's advocate
I will be God's
Let's waltz and tango
Throw and catch
Mix and Match
Let's be jokers in a circus
Where the graceful gymnast is pure focus
The Arcs graceful shapes of nature
The rapt viewer the nectar drinker
Let's do the funny Scratch our funny heads

But there ! there !
We share
Our understood labours well
And forget them too well too
What of the lions and finches
What of the snakes and exotic fishes
What of the elephants and doplhins
What of the trees for that matter
The sun will itself take care of itself
And the earth too.
