I was silent at birth w' bliss, mother said I never cried
I saw no evil, I spoke no evil, I heard no evil
But I sinned before birth to be of this earth
As thus I was born of sin
I was innocent at birth though to earth born
Thus as thus with sinned birth
Surely a baptism in rivers to equal my neighbor
As holds holy, is strong enough to cleanse
Hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil
To have me clean, like aerial wash
I am thus to be aerial clean
And as thus, would commerce stop
If I am to sin with dirt accompany no more
See no evil, speak no evil, hear no evil
Is that then not of sin, thus of me to send
A thousand plus away, as without work to do
As thus in this current climate of grey
To make a priest redundant and a judge likewise
What of the politician and his claim of innocence
And his promises of change, change is coming
Speak no evil, see no evil, hear no evil
What are they to do, thus without blinds
If I am to sin no more with selected ignorance
And thus for the definition of sin
To still be left as blank subject to
Subject to a special interest
See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil
To have the priest, the politician
And the judge always with work to do
I am as then, with a role to play
I am a sacrificial lamb for society to the alter
Great poem...
