Letters and Spirits
Letters are angles, letters are outs
Letters provide reasonable doubts
Letters cover all manner of sin
It should be outside, yet it’s within
Spirits are hopeful, spirits aspire
Spirits deliver what ideals desire
Spirits are lofty but not very wide
Easily skirted when needs must decide
Letters tradition, letters are songs
Letters sing theirs to the next letter on
Letters’ inherited trials passed down
They did it then, so you do it now
Spirits guide and spirits protect
Spirits of those who would resurrect
Spirits lift up mine eyes to the good
Because one can does not mean one should
Letters are crooked, letters are thieves
Letters are liars intellectually
Spirits are willing but flesh is suspect
Intentions mean nothing without respect
