P o e t r y: Perpetual Underclass

May 22, 2005

To Graduate
is a curious thing
to what and from where
Do inquire

Degrees of Glory
always require shedding
robes, regalia
and skins of honor

Come down
See People
Wash Feet
Get Wet

Love to be forgotten
Live to be unknown
Long to be Hidden
in Christ
Never Graduate

Love to be forgotten
Live to be unknown
