"Do you have any bread,"
he says
"What for,"
I ask,
"You called them ugly and disgusting,
wretched as the refuse
they're doomed to walk the earth upon,"

"Maybe God should
extinguish their unsightlyness
just for you,"
I tell him.

They reek from day old eggs,
their webbed feet
calloused from nails
slivered glass and cigarettes
they stumble on.

"Maybe i should get them some bread,"
he says,
feed just the pretty ones
the little helpless ones.

Well praise the lord!
My heart does sing,
maybe, just maybe,
I'm wearing off on you,
just a bit now, afterall.

Michele - Well praise the lord!

My heart does sing,
maybe, just maybe,
I'm wearing off on you,
just a bit now, afterall.

Yes, I'm sure that heart of yours can sing...

Aha, another bird lover. Smiling here, as I read this on a couple of levels.
