All you say will be used against you
and the perturbed miners dig in
the purloiners stoked and give dinners
and the maniacs devoted their lifelessness
paying homage to accreditation warped watch
a badge of honor on an anti-hero regressed mental
as a laughing graced pondered the absurdity of man
is it conceivable to live for three score years and more
and under the neon pollution and madness of Mary's child
and be bothered by voyeurism when clarity rules pristine mind
Only robbers an lepers hide in caves and shadows where winds cries
and the ridiculous read ridiculous news and leave doors open
while the streets hawkers beg to sell their fears to the braves
with generous helpings of ignorance that minds are alike
some heathens with pitchforks and spears chew hay
the modern day medievals with envious hearts
the demos uprising of missing links amass
sick minds long swept in mindless winds
it is not the age of reasoning or light
watch what you say to un-deads
laughing is crying in here
whispering is shouting
and Gentleman Jack
is your bride to be
in this drama
of ghosts
where
fools
are
sages
