Your leaf is green or black due to lack of manure?
Come!
The bigle rings and still does

It's voice is clarion
Very clear and gentle saying;
"Receive the ticket to the streets of Gold"
For the pure and shining are the streets
Glittering, well refined and polished!

Reception available for all
All that wills and obey
All!
At the bigle's height of clarity
Many are ushered into the party

Without stereotyping or hierarchy
Into the land of golden merry.
Oodles of crowns,
Plethora of awards
Flood the Résumé of those that win,

Echoes of praise and honour
Bequeathed to these wise ones
Who makes it to the street.
Despite accepting all,
It rejects some

Even many
Who fails to identify with the street owner
For He knows His Sheep
And they know Him.
So, receive and accept His Lordship

For He his the maker of the skies
And the seas!!
