Burning Coals and Turning Cheeks

Sometimes it's hard to be a martyr,
Taking all the blame upon yourself,
Sometimes it's hard to do the right thing,
And leave your rage up on the shelf,

And I secretly suspect,
Burning coals do not exist,
And all the assholes,
Get away with it,

But then,

I never do it with love,
When I turn the other cheek,
And I still smile on Sunday,
I'll see you all next week




M. Joseph Burt  (25.9.6)

I Was Made For The Mountains

My Soul was made for the Mountains My Body for the Swamp My Heart shall live in the Highlands And my flesh do what it wants  I was not made ...
