Green Beetles from Existential Dreadlocks by Joe Adhemar

Whilst she shines like those tiny green beetles
That you find when you lift up the rocks
She will thrive on the warmth of your people
And the effortless smiles she unlocks

We’re the wallflowers that sit near the hand rails
Where we grunt out our idiot views
And we love to ride on her coat tails
In the shade that’s created by you

And the patience she saves up for worry
And respect for the darkness we show
We can embrace melancholy
As the men that only they know

If your girl is a natural carer
Who knows how to nurture the soul
Hold on to her with the firmest of grips
Cos without her we’re nothin at all

If this girl eclipses our being
Don’t grumble at how this all passes
Don’t Sit in the shade that we’re seeing
Be sure to Wear your sunglasses

Let her be
She’s your shiny little green beetle
She’s the best
Of all the really kind people
Shelter you
She will ward off nearly all the evil
Keep her safe
She’s your shiny little green beetle
She’s the Eve
You’re the Adam who will eat the apple
She’s the scribe
Who is writing up your own fable
Keep you strong
Keep your feet underneath the table
Keep her near
She’s your shiny little green beetle
