Even The Slept - Hooves Instead of Feet

Said the earthworm to the grub

It is time to send our son before the masses?

Said the turtle to the toad

Do they know not what they’ve done?

Said the tiger to the antelope

Can they undo what they’ve done before we parish?

So the monkey raised his gavel

Let them pray upon their weak until they’re weary

Down the dirt road, wild and shy,

The young boy carried their message

There’s a lion in his pocket

There are lambs beneath his feet and vultures overhead

The sky don’t lie

Said the beggar to the merchant

Can you spare a little bread to keep me moving?

Said the farmer to his grove

Why must they steal the fruit you bear?

Said the tiger to the antelope

Can they undo what they’ve done before we perish?

Said the prophet to the priest

Let’s cage these *****ing beasts while they linger

When that boy reached the town

There was no one to be found
