1.
What happens to a dream deferred? Does it wither or does it explode? We are disavowed. Driven away, pushed apart, clutching hope, bearing scars. The land that has never been: Whose hand at the foundry, whose plow in the rain?
2.
Sun king, sun king. Enforce the end for profit. Speed king, speed king. Protect so none will suffer. Sun king, sun king. You liberate oppressors. Speed king, speed king. Until you run for cover. Your son, your son. Paternalistic ardor. Fly high, fly high. But never question structure. Your sun, your sun. The cost of freedom’s profits. Fly high, fly high. Live out your life in exile. Darkness all around. Darkness in your town. Darkness coming down. Darkness all around.
3.
Pillar of cloud, pillar of fire Shibboleth is stolen. A child, thin and broken. A fallow field Veblen goods controlling. Prison-schools are folding. A fallow field The people are at bay. Bloodhounds dog the day. Co-opt, reduce the lies. Diaspora the sky.
4.
There are those who walk. There are those who crawl. Keep the fingertips away from the face. Squaring up your target in the smaller box. Not a predicate act. Threat of future harm. Heap revenge on revenge. Three Oh Nine Three. There are those who walk. There are those who crawl. Every horror witnessed, wish my eyes would rot. Stumble into daylight across the parking lot. Comfort and control. Reticles align. Judge and you will be. Short-circuit court.
5.
Tell the truth — you liar. Push the outrage — you liar. Respect the rules — you liar. Tell the truth — you liar. Stand up. Face the fire. Boredom setting in. Kerosene. (You won’t be the same.) Lying in the sun. Your crimes flow. (You won’t be the same.) Peace has cost you your strength. Victory has defeated you. Unity weaned on rhetoric, Enforced by arms. Sleeping giant’s too cliche. Kick the mongrel dog. Everyday folks in pews defend prerogatives. Boot blacks and Lowell girls. Children watching while you fuck. Stand up.
