Stupid Poem

Black holes of unfulfilled promises
Steel cages of our own design
The shaking roars of a mother's rage

Terror to a child
Canvas to an artist

Strokes of a brush
Strums on strings

Let this new music ring
ring far and ring wide
all across the country-side

because jesus left chicago
headed for new orleans

Home of artists
Home of vice

He tried to purge the sorrow
and found he purged the soul
