the FREETHINKERS FIGHT SONG

Who am I? Slumber's spiritual drifter wonder toward the sewer My life; bounty in the alley-cat's fevered jaws Laid my body on a hollow altar A spectacle for the clergy of the infected Wash my feet {ablution} Cleanse my soul Complaisant via fear Blessed by the collar Held by the hierology Led by the shepherd Trapped by the Lamb Murdered by the Father Absent from theopathy Purge my soul Pulled the heart from the Lamb Fed the alley-cat Drank from the cloud's breast and traced my shadow in sunlight The figure of divinity Radiant in simplicity …and traced my shadow in sunlight
