I read
The old ones
And believe
They were spun
By masters
Pass deceased.
They can see
All spread out
Far and wide
They can help me
Thru and be
The master here
Within my own
Small
Little destiny.

Morose behaviour does not survive
Send no one, no one need apply.
Lone behaviour deemed deplored
Schemed and relevant in pasted demise.
Send the soldiers of disguise
Flog the masters, let them see
Morose behaviour does nothing
In a life of mortality.

By tender mercies I live
My life empowered
By the holy soul
That masters all life.
My life.
Let me live my life
By tender mercies
With no strife.
