I have something to say
Words to flow from the lips
Like red wine in the gullet
The blood of Christ
I have new lands to conquer
Achievements to conspire
The boldest of moves to make
The manifest destiny
Of poetry
Tearing down the house
And building a new foundation
Raping the earth and God’s creation
In His holy name
The children beaten, maimed
The bull brandished, bruised
Can never be tamed
The indecency inspired by name
