Left handed son where have you gone? Have you went down to the valley of death? Last time I saw you your neck was red from the gallows rope Peeled back raw like an apple’s flesh Do you walk amongst the shadows The light inside you dancing past your lips playing kindling against the shades like winters chill on hot breath Now no longer your brothers keeper No more than your Father’s seeker Out of step with the world’s meter Running between the metronome’s clicks Dagger drawn Face of flint No longer the goat outside the pen You shake the dust of the world from your heels With each departing step You found the human race isn’t won with honest strides It’s fleet footed vulpes double backs sleight of hand in sheepish guise Because There’s no holy glow in the television screens no divine prophecy in the magazines Stopped subscribing long ago to what they’re trying to sell me Trying to soar like a seraphim rise to my feet Cus patience breeds confidence Wisdom brings restraint Tie my own hands together knowing my enemies have no stake in my fate nowadays it’s only to martyrs that I can relate Blood seeds of the willing planted in that concrete You can Call it Highpower if you wish But I just call it divine justice with no risk We all serve a master just a question of on which altar you sit So get the bricks get the mortar and Take your pick
Joshua Miller: Left Handed Son where have you gone? Left Handed Son find your way back home.
Always thought myself to be a middle child of history No beginning no ending to the cacophonic litany The world’s vindictive rhythm dictated decisions Ending in a deadening of my being by the age of 16 A lack of vision made me want the pity of an early death Newton said it best An object at rest stays at rest Felt for my whole life I had slept Putting the first law to the test Prayed for a miracle becoming a black sheep out of step So now I straddle cultures Korean born American raised outside of ethnic infrastructures Found my worth wasn’t by merit Rather an inherent inheritance Thanks to the One who created us from dust Thus I stand Forever a left handed son
