"Prey of Jackals"
When I Was A Maid Young And Optimistic, I was
Pursued By A Fleet of Scientific Jackals
And Their Police and Medical Dogs, chasing me like a wild rabbit
Through the Corn, At Eighteen, I relished the last moments of my life
And Threw my heart up into the Heavens to go with God
I sent it safely on its way at that part of my life, into God, so that
No matter how much Pain They Inflict Upon Me, I Will Never
Be Able To Feel It, And I Shall Endure My Life
And Survive, Knowing I Flew Into Heaven Partway When
The Jackals Came And Hunted Me Down.
When I lay crouched in the open forest of young trees,
my heart pulsed with the bastardly barking of their dogs
Why, I Was Merely Prey, to them!  I was made to be
The Prey Of Physicians And Pharisees, Police and Nurses
A Queen Forced To Stand Outside in my Underwear, I grew used
To the Chilling Freezing Winds of Apathy.  Should My Heart,
Ever be Sent Back To Me By God, Then I cannot assume
What Yet my Future May Hold Therein!
I am forever hunted by them, a frightened Prey
We have become their Prey And They Hunt Me, Us,
Down And Rip At Our Wings Like The Pierced Hearts
Of A Pair of Doves!  Jesus, let me and husband survive them.
There is yet Time Enough For Love, and I Need His Love
To Stay Alive, He and I run, Wild and fleeting and driven Mad,
terrified and frightened, hearts aflutter,
 my Theodore and I are forever running
Running, away, from the pursuit of dumb,
 blind, prejudicial, judgemental Mankind
Into the darkest of night!  And You My Love,
We treasure these moments, these heartbeats,
these gasps, as i clutch you and you clutch me
tenderly as babes, within each other's arms!
For Love's sake, we have Become Their Prey!
Oh My Love, May We Yet Live To Love One Another
For God Knows, We've Waited For That Time To Come!
When We Can Fall Into One ANother's Arms, laughing and kissing
and crying, and he comes home every night!  Lord,
Lord!  Sent My Dove Back Home To Me Like A Darted Arrow
Let My Theodore Come So Home To Me!
What Pleasures We MAy Yet Prove To Have With One Another!
Theodore, Don't Die! Keep Running!  We are going to get away!
In JEsus' Name,
Amen!////
