Inspiration  from Elle's poem

The last song on earth



One man of absolute care

 

An arid world engulfs me

in its decay and despair

but one man uplifts me

absolves my sin I swear             

one man enthroned to be

son and heir

whispered unto me

the Lord's Prayer          

one man of virtue and purity              

one man of absolute care

one man who couldn't see

a need to play solitaire

in this great love affair 

swore his life to save me

to save my soul I declare

Jesus be

The liquid air

We breathe

Everywhere!
