He said to them:
You are the ones
who justify yourselves
in the eyes of others,
but God knows your hearts.
What people value highly
is detestable in God’s sight.
~ Luke 16

Wash yourself and see your sorrow,
make every pitcher clean
Take a mop to swab the floor
and destroy the evil dream
Counting houses full of lead,
the evil eye on high
The streets awash with blood and pus,
the new moon's in the sky
God's aloft, the winds are raging
God's aloft, the winds are cold
After leaving I was weeping
count it out in tolls
Watch the book, the page is turning
how the tale unfolds
Inside every cancered spectre,
Inside-outside find your own
God's aloft, the winds are raging
God's aloft, the winds are cold
