Cats in the cradle
And the leaders have sworn
Spiders in the parlor
And the promise is torn
Pencils make amends
Erasing trees and lawns
While kittens in the garden
Make meows and yawns
Children in the yard
Lifting weights in ladles
Puppy standing guard
Awaiting song and fables
While the preacher teaches word
Of hope and faith
The people make gods
Of art and Abel
The second son of man
A breath in command
Upon a grassy plain meadow
The Ark of a fellow
Would in solemn promise keep
In offering a stone
For eternity a place
To sit with grace
And grant immortal souls
Time and space
