The great Overdog
That heavenly beast
With a star in one eye
Gives a leap in the east.
He dances upright
All the way to the west
And never once drops
On his forefeet to rest.
I’m a poor underdog,
But to-night I will bark
With the great Overdog
That romps through the dark.

The west was getting out of gold,

Silence
God I begged you again and againTo hear my helpless criesI’ve fallen to my knees every nightBut you refused to answer My prayers drift back to EarthSeemingly unheard by the almightyI finally cease to try anymoreAnd silently drift off to sleep It’s another day and I again cry“God hear me, God please answer”I’m drowning in…
