consider the liles but they do not
rather, they trample them instead
in the name of progress, evolution,
change whatever name that can be
manufactured as the current currency, serious game
of let me in the door Im important too
to the general populations, the rest of the folk
I am superior to let's organize you or get you off
the taxpayer's back
that's another thIng they do
the trampling of names the individual imprint
gone are all fingerprints
the individual utterance so that they look
askance at you that you even have any personal things left to declare
at the borders
government issue all of it or vigilantes on a spree
we with Orwellian swiftness
shall compel thee to admit
to which populations are you tethered
and that you have nothing that's your own not even
your own regrets your own bellwether
and there are no saints. no individual consciencea
just group blanks to fill in so we can get you a case file
and you can be registered as a client after awhile
while we lecture you on why we think you are so irresponsible
since being poor is a crime you must pay and pay for
and yet I stop and I do consider
despite them all, despite the writing on the wall
or above the cameras: we are watching you all
the lilies are still spinning light
and getting away with it.
in plain sight.
There must be a God.
