ONE HUNDRED EXCUSES


Oh! That I may sing

Sing to my lord

But I have not

The voice of angels

And the accompaniments

Like Heaven’s


Oh! That I may dance

Dance for my God

But I have not

The swiftness of feet

Nor the coil of a snake

That resided in David


Who has understood

The anchor of the sky

Or comprehended the reservoir

Of its great waters?

And the triggers

Of its scaring Bazookas

Flashing through the sky


Who can tell

Of its great electricity

Its distributive accuracy

To the warmer

The fluorescent

And the twinkling eyes

Oh that I may know!

How to please the lord


Yes! I can yet sing

Sing of the Lord

The giver of voice

I must yet dance

The dance of the Lord

The giver of legs

Accompanied with rhythms

Rhythms from my palms.
