New Day
Stephan badly stoned
Falling to the ground on a pile
Of coats guarded by the Pharisee
Saul loaded his horse on the back of the truck
Eyes have not seen
What words would say
Saul cried all the way home
Stephan mumbled the name of the Lord
The old church was dark
Creepy under a fool’s moon
Preacher’s eyes flashing blood red
Finger pointing south to the ground
Lightning flashed
“I see Jesus” shouted
The stoned one, Saul fell
From the burning truck struck blind
Next morning’s
Sun rose early before
The Preacher had his first drink
A newness filled the sulfuric blue sky
