Sister and Brother

turning, turning, the earth is churning

wobbling, bobbling on its merry way

if you knew a superman to set it on its axis

the ills of humankind, a disturbing prophylaxis

more’s the pity as we see the birdies in the pie

scaring maids, unsettling kings, everything awry

now hear ye well, my dearest friend,

for slightly sure are we

there comes the beginning of the end

now you wait and see.

what’s to be done is in the crib

though he hasn’t got a name

a saviour drooling on his bib

surely not the same

what’s to be done? don’t hold your breath

lift up the Holy Word

sing praises loudly, love all get

believe your sight is blurred

love is the answer, this much is sure

put your hatred behind you, it will inure

if any survive the wrath of the Mother

it will be out of love for each sister and brother
