The Axe/Stubborn (Appendectomy Part One)

Two poems from 1985

The Axe



Sheep led to slaughter.
The abattoir doors are locked behind them.
The wicked priest smiles
As the axe chopped the prophet in two,
The people all laughed to see such fun
Till the axe came down on them, too.


Stubborn (Appendectomy Part One)
 

Remember Who gave you life and will take it away
Remember who looks after you every single day
Of course we need the bad times so that God can make them good
You haven’t been listening to a word I’ve said
But then I didn’t expect you would
