i)

you listen to me
but fail to comprehend
when you say we
deserve what we get-

i see..
when you say then
nothing for nothing
we have to pay..

ok-
and-render unto caesar
that which is casears´
(me?)

the concept of possession
i grasp
and a piece of poison
a laugh

yeah,yeah..
everything costs!
whether it be
brilliant or mediocre..

(bad = good
good=?
sick=good
good=?)

crystal clear..
(and supply equals
demand and vice-
versa..)

undeniable
irrefutable
what else
(as mrs thatcher said,

you can not buck
the market!
(but she married a
millionaire?!)

ii)

and if you´re
disliked may as
well go dig a
hole..

the popular
were mostly
psychos
as i recall-

they said
well,
he´s not a
bad old

boy
but don´t get
on his wrong
side

(or yon side)
i wondered..
i wonder
as you get

older..
the ******* and
lies
accrue

higher and higher
(and you say
surely that is
the cherry)

it is easy to retreat
into a world of
fantasy-
we clutch at

words like reality
and even destiny
and the bird´s
will not quit

it..
listen to what i
say..
