your hammer's good, it's headed south
it keeps your secret, without a mouth
the ground is hard, the ground is cold
tells many stories, as I am told
where you've walked, how much you weigh
you'll cover your tracks, but still, one day
the smallest fragment, the tiniest hair
well get you life, to this I'll swear
you make your bed, you dig your grave
and to your guilt,you'll be a slave
Think this out while you sit in the slammer
He carried the cross, but you bore the hammer.
He took the nails you pounded in
"Forgive them Father, they know not their sin"
Three days later the ground will attest
The man was seen walking along with the rest.
A carpenter by trade, he knew about hammers
He knows about you. his lost little lamber.
He stands at the door, speaks truth and won't stammer
Be the best friend to the man with the hammer.
"He hath sent me to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening [of the prison] to them that are bound; to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor." (Isa.61:1,2)
Jesus once said to the Pharisees (who demanded that Jesus silence His followers), "I tell you if they (His followers) keep quiet, even the stones would cry out!" (Luke 19:40) In a culture that seems to stifle and discourage any type of Christian faith expression, we as living stones cry out, seeking to give Jesus the glory that is due Him! - Rod Minaker

Intense symbolism g! One of your best.
I'm so excited about sunday! I can't wait. Should we have dinner first?
yeah I wrote it earlier this year to a guy who was writing threatening posts about whacking somebody with a hammer on a poetry site I was checking out. Anyway...it's got something to do with that builder scam as well.
