It takes blood to drive
we drain the hive
and now we wonder
why we just can’t thrive
as we tempt god’s
with all our thunder
and lightning strikes again
we say “amen”
and look for flowers,
stir honey in our milk
so we can drink
after it sours
and hours turn to days
turn into weeks
there’s many years gone
the market proves it pays
to move the meek away
like chess pawns
and dawn’s light breaks the night
and we still fight
for what we’ve stolen
it’s time to drop the sword
and end this chapter,
no semicolon.
