Diluted By Poison Poem by Leighton J Rees

Keep swinging Capricorn
when the world's not on your side
He tasted her first, but they all say otherwise

Stand for the teachers
Fall for the Gods
the Devil and Jesus, the same sign
under the stars

Not felled just falling
crush and begin again
Covered in roses
it was us and never them

Diluted by poison
shot down and unknown
let's look to the future and pretend that we don't know

There is one thing that I need
it's more than I deserve
Outside the temple, wondering what it's worth

Look at us shining now, in the midday sun
He caught the birds and set them free
all of them but one

I'll dive out of this world and take with me my wings
I was sorry then and I'm sorry now
an endless offering

I'm warm again and finally, my words are being read
Wash away like letters in the sand

They'll wash away like letters written in the sand
