There's a god on my street
glorious and radiant
blind and crippled 
begging for loose change.
Everyday I drop him four quarters
Ping Ping Ping Ping
they sound in god's cup
and I'm sure they ring
like mellifluous bells 
for the world to hear
from my disgusting street.
However I don't stay with this god
nor does he stay with me
he stays on this street
this street is his home
and my home is elsewhere
away from such a disgraceful hovel.
There's a god on my street
however once I leave him
he will not see me
he sees nothing at all 
does nothing at all
living of the four glorious pings
which I bless upon him.
There's a god on my street
starving and bare
a god which has nothing to live for.
No one will bless his name
as he passes 
as he cries
as crawls
as he dies
however I have nothing for this god
but my four quarters
and their glorious ringing.

so so many ways to interpret this poem XD
ALRIGHTTTT SO I'VE RUN OUT OF SONGS (In case you didn't know every poem i've written has been in coherence with a song i like) so for new poems I need new songs. My fave artists include Drake, Gregory and the Hawk, and Sia if the that helps recommendations.
