Collateral Damage
Jacket and tie turn to skirt and lie
The people them beg, the people them ply
But no matter what we do, we cah get thru
Still she giving we damn curfew.
We send out a mail, we send out a text
BBM somebody shouting next
But no matter whe we do, we cyah get thru
Big fish sprat they still coming for you
The fish them big, the fish them small
Somebody make mammy bawl
Ambulance late and is past 9 too
What they want the people them to do
They call and they wait, but they cyah get thru
Poor boy killed, by the damned curfew.
in a deep and bright place
where rivers flow, and trees grow in their midst
in the place of butterflies and peach bliss, nights of blue and teach kiss
in a deep bright place, where angles taste forever,
and it is there he addressed me,
this angel,
and he asked, who is she?
and I paused, I thought he knew,
having lived with forever, I thought he would know its truth,
but he did not know
and so I drew a circle
and he still did not know,
so I told him,
as it was in the beginning, in the heart of God, so is it now,
so her name is forever, her name is everlasting,
her name is breath of God
without her I cannot breath
He smiled, he always knew, he wanted to inquire of my understanding
then he said, spell her name,
still he doubted me
So i spelt M-A-R-I-E
midnight mas have we playing d ass d people loss d king force and the queen crying d jesters lying still the flag flying:but it dutty karen wine on it keith sit on it you and i watching and eh even do…. HTSR
