the chariot swung too low
hit the ground and spiraled out of control
i saw an angel dashed on rocks and snow
now dying of a broken spine
the chariot swung too low
people gathered 'round to take photos
and tell their stories to the evening news
while their children rot in a classroom
the chariot swung too low
last night i met the antichrist's publicist
he told me that a manger is for feeding pigs"
