Words and Pictures


Fight a battle like a holy war
Find yourself wedged between cracks
Step lightly at the altar call
And remember never to look back.

Paint a picture like Eden's garden
Let oiled colour run like blood
You spoke and I refused to listen
Ignorance won't stop the flood.

Point the way then nice and easy
With the brush, the pen, the sword
Cut me open, try to please me
Only don't bruise me with that word.
