Know Not Lest Ye Be Known Thyself - Ode to a Perversion

Know not lest ye be known thyself, A phrase followed from some strange, onyx, snake placenta and spittle covered book, From which phrases are chanted and sewn inwardly, perversely backed into the bladders of demons and spewed from the nostrils, Solids and seeds of dollars and oil. Know not lest ye be known thyself, That evil phrase not written as we have been taught, shown in action By those blocking fruits, pinching fingers at the ends of urethras To keep children from being born. Know not lest ye be known thyself, That evil phrase preventing man and woman from marrying, Withholding, slothfully, idling, waiting, Placing plugs in all our orifices. Know not lest ye be known thyself, That evil phrase stopping perception: touch, sight, hearing, smell, taste, And any others if there are others, Saying it alone will fill your mind. Know not lest ye be known thyself, That evil phrase keeping us working with the unidentified, The unfamiliar, the unknown, Keeping us discriminating, nepotizing, judging. Know not lest ye be known thyself, The summation of rejection, Instructing us to reject those things around us except what we already know. And what do we know? The Cover-up. One tarp can be pulled from off this particular hidden item in the garage, That can be assured, (though the rest may be inveigled away by filibustering and hidden, but hopefully not): "Judge Not Lest Ye Be Judged Thyself" is The Holy Bible verse to be followed.
