Beer Tent Revival


sweet old church hymns 

hurting in my head

whisky sour melody

on hypocrisy fed


paradox puzzle

swimmer's ear pain

oxymoron blonde

logically insane


little shrimp spiral 

down his paisley tie

Fibonacci fugue 

I did prophesy 


when dicing with death

watch for sneak attack 

what you shit on me 

bites your asshole, Jack


never thought I'd say

did you, daddy dear

what had to be said

you needed to hear


Such a good punter

buying lies they sold

Till I was bankrupt 

now my soul's grown cold


Sick of pew filling

preacher talks the talk

gospel double speak

while I walk the walk


you the Messiah

who can't even crawl

beer tent revival 

hucksters lead them all


cheap sham theatrics

the quack charlatan 

no revelation, just 

a Bible salesman 


peddling religion

from wagon you do

promising healing in

snake oil and voodoo 


spare me your twisted

punch drunk politics

half-baked evangels

blindside lunatics


get out of  my dessert

you don't belong here

only real mothers 

and fathers held dear


If that's blasphemy

then I'll take that chance

do-si-do along 

time for me to dance

















now I'm spitting out

doom you drank on me

pass the Listerine

to flush Insani-Tea 













life's a conch shell



and color in the lines
