ah how it feels to be moved about the board as if you
were a game piece in someone else's war
and they want you somewhere else
so as not to spoil the view
and ah the greatest sorrow is
they dont see you as you
but a thousand categories all aligned
and not a single star that shines
shines down, on you
according to statistics and their expert
point of view.
ah.
God in His heaven preserve us still
from those who move us by their will
to be surrounded by the very rich
and not by those who dream in a ditch.
