2003-11-29 - your sentence: repentance
shopping, tracking, selfish plotting
here's the facts now, one, two, three
chopping, hacking, undercutting
the axe is laid to the root of the tree
the law is justice blinded
the clocks can't be rewinded
what's done is done
the trunk kink won
Nirvahna's neverminded
now narly twisted limb
is all that's left to trim
but still it doesn't quit
the blade won't stop for spit
as threshing in the pit
the slice gives way to split
a harvest time returned
a nursery rhyme relearned
a no stone left unturned
life lesson best unspurned
it's less than what we earned
it's random entry, Verne
intelligence is loosed
into the hangman's noose
confronted with cessation
there's true remediation
and sobering inclination
and quiet rumination
a forced evaluation
is law's administration
and hewing past the trunk
each gnawing slashing chunk
the culture's sins and things
as time recounts the rings
those geneologic strings
addictions, pulls, cravings
passed on through generations
and ancestral sensations
occultic meditations
contracted infestations
demonic congregations
beneath your family tree
there's one way to be free
lay the axe to the root of the tree
as the prophets' eyes foresee
you'll be safe from calamity
when you stand in eternity
by the law of liberty
manifested at Calvary
only then will some here see
the forfeiture of the lottery
and its free availability
like the compost of antiquity
fossil fuel, gold and stone jewelry
all around you but you couldn't see
now the axe is at the root of the tree
the grace is passing ever seasonally
the sap is drying and I'm sure you agree
the act of dying, your extinction, will be
this fact I'm trying to break sensitively
your disconnected from the source
this is the course or your remorse
you need the hook-up now and how
you don't have time to milk your cow
the sky is red and riders storm
there's only one way to conform
you must receive the greatest gift
the only prayer you should uplift
to bring you aid -- rush delivery
the axe is laid to the root of the tree
