Paul Michael Stafford's Biography
Sow The Seed
Sow the seed, spin the web,
Pick a bud, choose a thread,
Destiny sings as mankind weeps,
Swallowing the harvest it reaps,
Rivers run fast, mankind rises high,
Water undrinkable, polluted beyond the eye,
Bathing in the sun, as the ice melts,
Hadrian built a wall to keep out the Celts,
But no wall will keep out the flood,
As the unfaithful drown in the mud,
Black and white the warning is in,
Warning us the consequence of sin,
But as a race we choose to ignore,
The prophet's warning a bore,
The kings will rise as faith falls,
And the bugle, war calls,
'Each to their own' we say,
As the Devil has his day,
And more die than live,
Because faith they did not give.
