Supreme Ruler of the Bathroom
Title
Supreme Ruler of the Bathroom
Description
The Secret Keeper
Round and usually empty
Treasuring the moments
When one turns your knobs
Slowly you become full
Thinking of the things
That people have hid in you
You make no judgments
Voice no oppositions
Simply take it all
Alleviate us from our pain
The food you never finished
And didn’t want mom to know
The ashes on your fingers
From your secret smoking hole
Lovingly you drain it all away
Hider of secrets
Cleanser of sins
As our lies swirl down the pipes
You wait patiently for more
No trace of trouble on your face
Round and usually empty
Treasuring the moments
When one turns your knobs
Slowly you become full
Thinking of the things
That people have hid in you
You make no judgments
Voice no oppositions
Simply take it all
Alleviate us from our pain
The food you never finished
And didn’t want mom to know
The ashes on your fingers
From your secret smoking hole
Lovingly you drain it all away
Hider of secrets
Cleanser of sins
As our lies swirl down the pipes
You wait patiently for more
No trace of trouble on your face
