Suckling on the nipple of this rifle,
I swallow cannon candies and chew on bloody curds
Offer me the great treat as we sign this treaty
Treat me right in this agreement so bloody -
Yet worthy
Tell me of the achievement of throes,
Pleasurable torments
Memorable anguish
Where was progeny when these sullen stories were born?
When I got the studio sessions from Sheol
Recording with glorious scowl?
Where was she when death visited me with great lush?
Was she lost in valhala
Or cooking sweet "wahala"?
Tell me where she lay when I lay eggs of mystical pleasure
born of the burns suffered from Lucifer
Remind me of where she was when I dined and died and death
couldn't keep me!
Oh! She was lifting holy hands shouting glory
hallelujah!
Lifting up holy hands to the Almighty
In feigned fellowship of unity,
Casting out demons of gore
As mockery became my girth.
Reminiscing what her hands could do-
Holding on to the rod of Moses
That parts the sea of labia
Wait-
Was it not the same hand that actively performed the
fellatio rituals?
Tell me of a tool so mighty -
Mighty to raise mighty men to dust
Tell me of a tool so subtle -
Subtle as to shuffle between the pews of the
congregation,
Knowing where and how to tread.
I would tell you of holy hands.
Lifting holy hands,
Waving glory hallelujah
Even after giving the viagra to ensure vibrancy.
Holy hands locking unlucky aimless souls.
Lifting holy hands
Hailing Jah for a night well spent
in exhibiting the painting done in the inner tent,
Not minding being the tenth
Even as it pays the one tenth of the bill.
Lifting holy hands
Saying silent prayers for the child sent to soak in darkness
of afterlife.
A foetus isn't a child- it has no life of its.
To what extent shall her holy hands do helly things
And still shout glory hallelujah in the sanctuary?
