The Crop – Written Wednesday 30th June 2007 (Aged 32)

The Crop

i grasped at the crop
blowing high in the field
i tugged at the slates
upon the house i long to build
i held onto my words
like a sword i wish to wield

i grasped at the crop
blowing high in the breeze
i tried to clean the statues
that has pushed me to my knees
i collected my pleasure
and found myself saying please

i grasped at the crop
and realised it belonged to me
i looked at the past
and the future told me what to be
i held onto my sight
truly, something inside helps you see
