God Is Good
God is good
It is a beautiful night
The man is reading by the moonlight
Front door is just a board and the rose is rotted
The man is a celestial model

What is venerable
Can be damnable
What is flammable
Is inflammable

I poke at a tensile thing
Thin muses up and rising
I do paraphrase all the great terms of our age

God is good
It is a beautiful night
The man is breathing in your light
The book, the shoe
Do a rendezvous
The man is seeking celestial proof

What is venerable
Can be damnable
What is flammable
Is inflammable
Hid upon a secret
Hidden in a howl
Amongst the purple mountain’s majesties
Somehow
Somehow
Somehow
