We are dead to the pleas of people like these and by these
people we're referring to you.

Come show me the serpents and
I'll show you parliaments
where the unwise would be
wary
to tred.

We're all looking for justice
but
can't find any peace
why bother?
one without the other is hopeless.

And I am reflex
at the apex
gun at the ready
are you?

We survive then to deprive them
and depraved as we are
slaves unto mammon
religion
the car
far from the rank and file
I take a little while
to consider these
thoughts.
