St Francis Amongst The Mortals

God said to the Saint "It's a mess on earth again The unhappy humans Show them of the life to be led Oh show the lost and low The bitter and the cruel Show that even today You can be kind to one another" He arrived in London And lived a lamb-like life for a while With a friendly handshake He shared his money with the poor So soft was his heart that His kindness knew no bounds He said that even today You can be kind to one another He sank into debt And his kindness was used By those wise in the ways of the world He fell into a terribly melancholy "I tried hard to show Awful mortals how to be behave But I no longer know If kindness is quite rational So soft was my heart that My kindness knew no bounds But I no longer know If to be kind is to be clever I fell into debt And my kindness was used By those wise in the ways of the world I fell into a terrible melancholy" At long last the day came When the Saint succumbed to the world He kept a lock on his wallet And kept steel doors shut over his heart The way the world's made It's no wonder no one's good If you want to get on You count your cash and hate your neighbor
