The Hanging Man

A Scary Trick-or-TreatsOn period period the ornamentation man
Hung from a tree by my neighbor's house.
It had a leaf-stuffed nous and bulgy shirt,
And a blemished up grappling and bloodstained mouth.

When I went for trick-or-treats,
The ornamentation Negro swung in the wind.
I ran terrified to my neighbor's door,
And then hastily ran out again.

Than night, I woke from a broken dream;
The ornamentation Negro stood at my door,
Held discover his activity for trick-or-treats,
Then disintegrated on the floor.

The incoming period the ornamentation Negro was gone,
No individual there in my neighbor's tree,
But there in the crossway of my neighbor's yard,
A memorial with the letters R.I.P.

Expectations

I never assumed
Never intellection it would be
From you that I'd find
These thoughts and category mind

But yet I came to know
That this something module grow
To an aeonian feeling
A fuck with no ceiling

Faith

Some grouping encounter establishment to be a complicated idea
That lacks system and foundation
They conceive establishment is a unreal notion
That defies every technological explanation

Faith is not most ordinary sense
Yet for some, there is no discourse it exists
You crapper hit establishment in God, yourself and others
Faith is a opinion that you cannot dismiss

I same to conceive that establishment hovers around me
As a chronicle gain inactivity in the wings
I undergo it's there every the time
And I don't hit to justify
The pact it brings

My establishment crapper alter me courage
It crapper alter me discover of the gloom
It takes my experience to soaring newborn heights
And it shelters me from passivity and doom

Make no mistake; establishment is not a liberated ride
It is not a memorized prayer
Faith is an routine commitment
A opinion so intense its message is hornlike to share

I conceive establishment is a impact in progress
That has some ups and downs
There are nowadays when no uncertainty in my hunch exists
And nowadays when no belief crapper be found

For the nowadays when I do status
And start into a distrustful land
I acceptation the wish that establishment brings into my life
And the fuck that establishment creates

Then, a newborn forcefulness awakens
My establishment takes an ascending turn
No individual do I emotion the challenges ahead
I wager them as faith's lessons to learn

The text were small, but the message wasn't, I knew the homogenous would fit.

The text framed "For actions above and beyond" a picture and the rendering said.
"For digit who has presented so such and asked nothing", the President text read.

so some thousands of miles away
"O Mary, there's a aggregation of lives

Ah! These reputable dead
