Selma
Judith was a priest it’s true
There simply wasn’t any who
Could take from her the right to do
What ever came to mind to do;
With little fear of Jesus
The tenants which when
Written down
Would turn a bikers
Head around
They told her to get out
Of town and does …
Still … only as she pleases
Like Kirk evoked the
Wrath of Kan
The town rose up
(Their patience gone)
They dumped their garbage
On her lawn
In collective acrimony
Her whoring ways
The Bishop railed
Should see this devil
Quickly jailed
But justice blinded
Now has failed
Riding on a pony
The sheriff faltered-
Took his leave
Despite a heart worn
On a sleeve
Denied the faith
He once believed
And took the path that’s stony
A swirl of dust
Rose to the sky
A spray of dirt
Spoke her goodbye
Though daggers flew
This black bird flied
Without a wound to suture
So to the wind
His future flew
He by her side
As if by glue
Pre- Cobra Ford sweet baby blue
Now launched them to the future
