The Meek Shall Inherit


It’s been a year since they come, ‘n’ a year since we done kill’d ’em all…
They come a-shootin’, and we shot back.
Folks that could, hid in mines ‘n’ places like that.
Didn’t do ‘em no good.
We’s all that’ left now.
Us folks with no hope of hidin’, nowhere to run.
They got us, ‘n’ we didn’t die.
But the folks that wasn’t shot died a couple o’ days later.
A plague come and wiped ‘em out.
Today we’s givin’ thanks to them that shot us.
They saved us from dyin’ like the rest.

Like it says in th’ bible…
Us what had nothin’ before, got it all now.
Amen.
