There Was A Man In A Taxi Cab

There Was A Man In A Taxi Cab,
 Who Said Don’t Question Fate.
 Where God Put A Period
 A Mere Man Cannot Debate.
 And I Know . . . Tis Not Fair
 To Cry To Weep
 But, Oh, How Cold The Hand Of Death  
Upon This House That Keels!

 And Why All In December
 Did You Steal The Ones Beloved?
 All In An Equal Manner— Some Quick’n Curse From Far Above?
 
Seraphim And Roses
 Guard Her Grassy Space
 Where Ceased Her ‘Crepid Pain
 Yahweh Took Her
 Where Sweet Sunshine Washed The Shores
 But, Why Does He Take My Loves From Me?
 You, Crippled Her, And Let Her Wither?
 What Are These Words, These Songs
 Without My Loved Ones Here With Me? 
Must You Destroy All Of Them?
And With Them All Of Me?
 Why Did You Take Them So?
 My Friends, My Family, And Their Goals?

 The Body Of My Sister
 You, Crippled Her And Let Her Wither
 Sixteen! Why Not Let Her Be
 To Live A Life Of Tranquility
 But That Was Not Enough For You
 Devil, You Took Her Life And Vibrancy
 And Stole Her Legs
 For Jealousy
 Scorned By Her Beauty And Chastity.
 Because She Danced Too Beautifully.

 Do You Always Steal The Beautiful?
 Do You Always Kill Our Wonderful?
 Devil Why Do You Take Them So!
 Your Jealousy, Unquenchable!

 My God, My God!
 Only Punish Me!
 I Feel The Pain Within Her Soul
 My Body Takes Her Wordless Woes.
 I Feel The Weight And Weariness
 The Fractures, Falls, And Breaks

 Every Time He Takes
 I Brake, Awake
 Until The Dusk Leaks Into Dawn To Dusk to Day
 I Wear Thy Raven’s Dress
 And Pay To You An Awful Debt.

 There Was A Man In A Taxi Cab 
 Who Said Don’t Question Fate.
 Where God Put A Period
 A Mere Man Cannot Debate.
 But Him I Question Every Day!
 To Him To Him
 Yet, Still, In Anger, Pray.
