More words . . .

Hallelujah, Yo!
ÒThe wind blows wherever it pleases.Ó Word?
The scene is played out. We need some Eden!
Were G-d the DJ, HeÕd spin hymns to
Slay. A hybrid of Gospel Blues Wagner
Kundimans and Jungle for a camouflaged choir.
Strobe lights bounce off converted monks,
now Punks, who donÕt give a sheite what color
They dye their hair. Who cares? Graffiti overflows
Wall to wall, inspired by The Sistine Chapel;
Tattoo artists perform miracles, I share
A bottle of Mountain Dew with my bro,
While Bhangra beats lull homeless ravers too
Tired from the blessed breakdance.
Elders with glowsticks trade skateboard stickers
And croon at vintage clothes the Salvation
ArmyÕs donated. Just nudge me, aight? You can
Hock my Mp3 Player, cell-phone, knapsack, shades.
I wanna go where the sun rises best. Shalom.
