God reigns in His trinity
Father, Son and Holy Spirit
Mankind mirrors his image
in body, soul and spirit
Heaven is his throne
The earth his footstool
life on earth is His tool
roaming around like a drone
like gazelle longing for water
my spirit longs for God’s Spirit
with His Spirit, I cannot falter
nor shall my teeth ever grit
life stands on a three-like a tripod
without the third leg, no balance
it topples over like a two-legged pot
even if you give it a second chance
we live in a chaotic globe
where world treaties fall apart
where our hearts kiss the dart!
despite a peace plea from Pope
Chaos stirs wars across our planet
where flying missiles explode
leaving body bags, a lofty load
where lives are fished out with war net
