1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the wicked,Nor standeth in the way of sinners,Nor sitteth in the seat of scoffers:2 But his delight is in the law of God;And on his law doth he meditate day and night.3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the streams of water,That bringeth forth its fruit in its season,Whose leaf also doth not wither;And whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.4 The wicked are not so,But are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.5 Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment,Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.6 For God knoweth the way of the righteous;But the way of the wicked shall perish.

Have a blessed day, we say

Blessed be me for not walking in step with the wicked

That be the invocation.

That be the deal

What fool can say she or he is not depraved?

We draw pride from our arsenal

We do

Blessed be our nuclear bombs

Our missile defenses

Protecting us as You never could

Or would

Gospoodi pomiluj

And

Inshallah

Yes Sir

We ourselves could be the enemy

Blessed be the one who meditates on You

Night and day

Feasting on Clozaril

Olanzapine

Flupentixol

We are like trees planted by streams

Our destiny to bear fruit

We pray

The sun not disappear

Or the stream change course

Our delight lies in being alive

Open to sunlight

And laughter

Contradictions

And questioning

At our very core

That’s what we say

We do
