The blind leading the blind
down blind alleys and suffering;
what can a human king do for
a human being?
Samuel was a fool to ask for one,
you were fooled to vote for one;
Real power in the sky, stream and
stars that are beyond our arms,
the dance of wind and change on
your face, the leaves and branches
shadows all over the place yielding
what a man cannot:
Peace.
***
Samuel trudge back!
Go back up that hill or hut,
sound the alarm or bugle or
whatever trumpet says “Hey!”
We’ve gone amuck!
Give back the reins, let God take
it over from here.
God is my king and my president,
Smile.
And never fear!!!!!!!
