I don't want power in a poem Just some rhyming light and whipped With enough empty space and air To take the place of subscript I don't want to hear you sing of pain I'd rather you stick to scheme Keep rhymes in time and don't ask why You’ve all lost the will to dream I'd break every pen that's mightier And fight freedom of the verse Censor you to cold and heartless Ensure passion’s home in hearse I'll bleed your words dry of their wisdom Make them all just ink on page Dilute the work back into form Homogenize center stage
