I have gained a paternal responsibility But I feel a different response filling me Constantly itching from a million flees Begging to get me out of this please So in my mind unseen Resides a murderous dream To subtract from my team
I fall into a landslide Of infanticide A lioness eats her cubs As a baby drowns in a tub Before they reach the age They acquire our rage We devour our babies Before they contract rabies
We're brought together by proximity and origin By who we were forming in This connection of chance Determines circumstance Guiding our circle dance With random music We take whatever we can Until we lose it
A possum's mother dies It has no time to cry It must continue to eat So it feeds Like its mother in heat Had to breed In order to not lose The child chews In a world of me or you The child chews Instead of feeling blue The child chews Its mother's fur stuck in its teeth It stays there to provide heat The parent provisions from beyond the grave Will get the possum through this ugly day
From possum to person I can't tell which is the worse end For there is flesh stuck between my teeth Like a Christmas wreath Where what lies beneath In a readily equipped sheath Is patricide or matricide I can't decide But must abide To survive The purgatory I see surging toward me So to move forwardly I must live forlornly After feeding on family Company becomes fantasy Learning no one can handle me They're just meals I'll eat handily
I eat my relatives In this hell I live Where what I give Is the gnashing of my jaw To follow a universal law That says scratch and claw Until I meet God Expecting my parricide ways Will garner divine praise But for everybody I slayed My soul was filleted Now I only see grey So everyone looks like my father And I say welcome back Kotter As I yearn for my teeth to be hotter
