Psalm136 – k. e. leger

Murderous Tenant (God)

you were such a fruitful one
you protected yours
then you protected everyone
‒at least in beneficiary
always on the contrary
in depths of voices
of the canary

since seven times seven times seven
completed its road into heaven
may the nines begin
but first the eights have to win

so let eight minus seven
times eight times nine
‒to enjoy the rhyme
let it be
eight in time
and the times of nine

for the eights have to stay
for the nines in wait
hear, hear, hear
call in all the actions
for the eights in wait
forgot the date

eight and seven and nine
it's all not behind
but ahead
in principle of kind
absent of drawn lines

in the rattle
comes a sign
you don't have to guess
the poet is lost in quest
but found in the conquest
of a simple guest

all because the given
was a simple token

guess in the nines
the sum of the rhyme
comes times nine
your guess or Mine†

the one and only
of all times
God† Almighty
who's not enjoying His† time
disciplining in kind
through a solid, steady rhyme
in comes pi
but not a drawn line

no accepting compromise
eight and seven times nine
the next in line
will draw a small line
death the sign
all across the rind
of all time

then you will know
it is I†
the master of time!
