Surely the rules of life
Come with a heavy tether
Weighing us down
Tarred and feathered
To keep us safe in the wild
Calmly tamed
Mindlessness is the name
Of this dreadful game

Bring on the beast
Let loose Goliath
I am all ready bored
With our new Messiah

Give me back my bullets
the primitive said
Or perhaps I’m transcending
The living dead
