universal deception
petition
erudition
consider this
it is skepticism
to the times i have been lied to
universal bickering
between the itlings
and the gitlings
all these things man
just release yourself
universal bullshit
take in the affirmation
of some man's political dream
and achieve the suffocation
of your dreams
by leaning on
something
stop the swingset
feel no gusts in the hair yet
parroting
O do not dream
do not dream
universally machined
releasing no seams
all sewn up
slept with flings and cloistered
cuffed
take your means
and all that stuff
and
release
release ideology's fluff
release
release yourself
