The Anti-Vermin Seed

If I could get the nerve

And move

I'd put them all to sleep.

That would not be wrong

For either you

Or what it is we see.

Somewhere there's a king

Who keeps his days for forgiving

Everyone.

If I could hold one thing

An anti-vermin seed

That I won't ever need.

Only for real

Will we all pretend

It over now.

Over my hand

I remembered all

And what it do to them.

And when you search your soul

You had better damn well tell

Green from gold.

And when I look for hope

If it's in my head

I'd say it's a bargain.
