Brothers Beneath the Skin |
Preached the Archbishop, from his High Gothic pulpit |
After the wine was thrilling, the cattlefax went raw-- |
Inbred home of beauty, often those who do their duty |
Respect the king, respect the clock, give honor to the Law… |
The communists made an answer to this back-room in Shrewsbury-- |
Marx and Lenin open by the wood-writings on the floor |
You’ve been preaching 'kingdom come' but your factory’s a slum-- |
It’s brewing such a trouble as we’ve never seen before! |
We’re Brothers! |
Brothers Beneath The Skin! |
They cried the town mechanic with a good booth mechanically… |
«Oh, I am high and dandy… I’m the master of my soul!» |
My granddad was a peasant, and it wasn’t very pleasant |
Without cinemas and birth-control and unions and the dole… |
Straight out the bastard, eternal need for failure… |
A purple man take in your been a half |
Did you ever stop to think-- as you drive your sons to drink |
That the bombs who bruise the beach will have the last among the last (this |
whole paragraph needs work) |
We’re Brothers! |
Brothers Beneath The Skin! |
Look what we have given them, god and guns and discipline |
Syphilis and alcohol and missionaries and whips… |
'til the cry came over the waves, to emancipate the slaves-- |
They were doing very nicely till the white gods came in ships |
Look! |
Dead Man! |
At this empire of suffering |
an invidious color strand-- |
They can hear it, try not healing, the thoughts fail in congealing-- |
The last White is snuffed out-- in a toxic no-man's land… |
We’re Brothers! |
Brothers Beneath The Skin! |
(best of luck, skyclad lovers) |
