*** Sacrifice ***

by 'Barry R. Long'

as I held the knife tightly in my hand
her life's blood seeped into the land
watched blood roll down the blade
a sacrificial knife that was handmade
the shaft was crafted with precision
designed to create a perfect incision
I slit her fine throat from ear to ear
while the onlookers they did cheer
sliced her belly, out flowed intestine
then checked the liver, it looked fine
the signs are good for wealth in the plan
we are blessed with this sacrificial lamb
