the bible in black and gold

the bible

in black and gold

i heard some stuff

also all the good poets

have read shit-loads

   of philosophy

and when they finish reading

fire comes down

and there is a white light

and even then

some times there is junk flowing through the vein

and they are not righteous

and they are not saints

and they would never

want to be

and they mostly        have jobs

and they're not afraid          of briars or thorns

they certainly wish     to be under the law

but its just      not      in        their                cards.
