<\/p>\n

how to escape a dull day
\nleather riders on
\npaper rivers
\nmotioning you to
\nsoft imprisonment<\/p>\n

anxiety
\ntoo much fear today
\nsitting upright
\nhard and attentive<\/p>\n

i\u2019m slipping and
\nthere is no control
\nno understanding
\nonly the coldness
\nof black and white statute<\/p>\n

in these false temple halls
\nthere is only trepidation
\nand under elegant walls
\na beast dwells waiting for resignation<\/p>\n

sub-human shapes litter the room
\nthey are slaves and acolytes
\nto the most dangerous of religions<\/p>\n

no victim, no crime
\nyet modern justice
\nis nothing more than
\na members only club
\nwith one motto
\nsubservience to the state<\/p>\n

collusion
\ncalculation
\nit\u2019s a rigged game with
\nmandatory motions
\nobscure rules
\nand one sided discussions<\/p>\n

unimportant and unquestioning
\nas we are threatened
\nwith and deprivation and robbery
\nand \u201csentences\u201d are handed down with
\nhollow laughter from high places<\/p>\n

over-medicated and under educated
\nwith unrealistic expectations
\nwe are lulled and misled
\ntoward an unreal illusion<\/p>\n

what is it that makes us strong
\ntelling lies to ourselves
\nor saving the world?
\nand
\nwhich race is the best race?
\nthe slave race
\nthat\u2019s the one thing
\nthey won\u2019t tell you
\nthe one thing
\nthat keeps them alive
\ni only wish to
\ndecentralize
\nand rattle these snakes from the bushes<\/p>\n

a heartfelt plea
\nrejected
\nin the end they\u2019ll always fuck you<\/p>\n

if i were to sit
\non that high, hollow
\nwooden bench
\nand issue my decree
\nit would read thus
\n\u201cthe state can eat a big bag of dicks!\u201d<\/p>\n
