Hallelujah!

by Robert Sandy

With the simpler days all gone
And mother nature seeking refuge
And the gay boys seeking folly
And the priests all seeking none
And the mother's seeking justice
And the government seeking sums
And America seeking sons
And the husbands slashing away at their unborn ones.

Here, where misery is reconciled
Between the ones who can still stand the sun
And the ones who are forced to cleanse the marbled dung.

I stand here singing.

Hallelujah!
Hallelujah!
Hallelujah!

And days.
And days.
And days, undone.

And this: this is my song:

Hallelujah!
