the greatest living crime
who wasn't that obscure
went about measuring
everyone for the same suit
soul suit in all sizes
tailored to compromise
tailored to blend in
since standing out
on any contrasting surface
was the only sin
so we scurry
try not to worry
hide near the kitchen cabinets
and listen, we listen
praying not to glisten
and converse
with those who think
she needs a nurse
she is unwell
but time will tell
this side of hell
and Heaven will judge
the living crime
in every clime
who makes the soul suit
fit
and hands out the prizes
to those who wear it
