-sIn- In the Middle of it All
by Bryan Miles

In the middle of it all
Is a great big I
Package after package
Piled high
What do I want?
What do I need?
Motivated by flesh
Fulfilled by greed
How does it look?
How does it taste?
Human consumption
Human waste
From the bite of an apple
To the whole darn tree
Grabbing all
That satisfies me

In the Kingdom of I
I sit on the throne
The crown that I wear
Is all mine alone
Whatever's set before me
I gulp and I sip
Chewing each morsel
That slides past my lip
I soak both my feet
In the waters that flow
Aiming to please
The only one I know

In the middle of sIn
Is the letter I
Whom man tries to follow
Though it's unclear why?
Why does he follow with all of his breath?
The results of his venture
Resulting in death
Yes, I has its place
In the middle of sIn
Planting six feet under
Those who begin
To follow its path
Without any thought
Wrapped in its branches
Tangled and caught

There is only one way
To push out the I
That keeps you from God
And your home in the sky
Remove all the rags
Of the sIn that you wore
Get rid of the I
Right down to the core
Replace it with O
And follow God's sOn
In the light of His word
All sIn has to run...
