African violet

You came by, in a suit
And a tie,
And an eye, a saddened eye.
With one foot in the ground
And one in the sky,
And you,
You spoke of an African violet
And the need for a pilot
To an island,
Of some silence.
And you,
You went to the temple
To pray to God
To find a way
To dampen the riot

You came by, seeking the silence,
In a suit and a tie,
An African violet
