If it is True
If it is true that they have
reclaimed you, shackled you to
their cold and sterile premises then
We have managed to stumble one step
closer into the ample arms of Armageddon.
If it is true that our ceaseless pleas,
bended knees, and debtor's teas leave
our August audience unmoved then
We must reconsider those who have abandoned
modes of speech, reach for means of expression
at once primitive and powerful.
If it is true that they have
restricted you, returned you to
a fate which they must one day share then. |
