jehovah, get thee to the witness box



jehovah swears i'm sick and tired of too much witnessing.
my eyes are tired
my heart can't breathe.
let jehovah's double do some witnessing for awhile.
in the fancy hospital
every drug you could ever want to meet.
the alien came to invade earth
in ten minutes it gave in
i just don't understand you earth people
cried the alien as it made its sudden escape.
the monster's napping in the front parlor
try not to waken it
it's hard at times doing all the responsible things a monster needs to do.
my own particular monster made predator of the year.
i think there's a stipend that goes with that.
jehovah just got some 3 d glasses.
i guess he's going to wail.
you can snap your fingers and watch the walls tumble down.
the lovers refuse to open their eyes.
let them dream a little more.
no harm in trying.
so many miles to go.
i'm dearly holding on for life
the earth shakes its head right to left
i'll stand here quiet on shaky legs
look into me as long as you're inclined
i might not acknowledge you for hours
i'm not being overtly rude, mind you
i'm just a tad bit slow
a chicken in every pot
garlic on every door
no harm in dying
it's what we all finally do
the intersection could use a crosswalk
the liberators could use some savvy
jehovah stared through the keyhole
and never really came back down
