Crackers & Grape Juice

Crackers & Grape Juice

Thirteen magicians am I
broken bread, a sip,
a kiss of betrayal and lies.
Our nature fulfills this fix

And then they all fled from me, I am
a liar, he ran
a thief, he ran
a killer, he ran
and left me to the pure, I am

I fed us, sat with us,
taught us, healed us,
blessed us,
while counting on our nature to
reveal us, our own regret, but,
for this is not a test.

I am the sacrifice of the realms external
A new righteousness free,
free of the rest of me internal

Love us for we know not what we do.
Magnetically attracted to my purity
in spite of the dirt we do.

I suffer what we cannot,
durable without wrinkle or spot
Wickedness finds no comfort in my soul.
My body is young, as my spirit is old.

I love us when we hate each other
I stand between us and trouble
When we run for cover.

Strange relationships that sting
spill not my blood after roosters sing
Conspire no more this execution,
imagination, retribution

Together we suffer not
My revolution towards our evolution
spoils all plots

I am the balance between us
that bent you
I saw you coming
because I sent you

Bend away from our density
Freedom now to render our propensity
The propensity for peaceful, smiling eyes
Non-violent whispers of zero compromise

This table of contents with severed heads
return me to my Father all thee who have fled
Father, please forgive them is what we stand on
for I must be freed to lead my grandson

Another storm is coming
let me lead us through it
Secrets and pointed finger of the cunning
must wish He never knew it.

We must prepare a new truth
where bread and wine
can never be reduced
to simple crackers & grape juice
