Certainly it would be a mistake to believe
that it has ever been chiseled in a bolder, slab
or slate
But sometimes the father may act as a son
and the son a father, he would become
Yet be careful in your daily duties
Encouraging death when he has made
a simple request for food is an abominable act
whether it be overt, covert, implicit or precise
For the body is a temple and efforts to withhold a paltry gift
will be rewarded with limitless scorn
Because each of us has a responsibility to his own brother
whether they be a person born of blood
or just a stranger on the street
Efforts to moralize will surely fall on deaf ears and when we speak
of a hard working farmer, as important as he is, it may often turn out to be
just another lonely yield that has very little effect upon the people
who have always needed it most or have never been in a position
to speak with an uppity air or to ever gain a middling degree
or begin to brag or boast at the start of an uproarious forsaken affair
Because the tendency to hoard is a scoundrel's work
When your back is pressed to the parapet
and destiny is but a thick impervious barricade, isn't it time
to open up the turnstile and release the latch to jump the guard
and pry open the perilous pearly gate?
For anyone who would offer a harvestman instead, with its minuscule legs
and its cold spindly hard grey head is an unfit ancestor, a wicked forebearer, predecessor, procreator and progenitor, and most of all a brainless spineless begetter
who has risen from the top of his bed far too early in the morning but has not learned to redeem his kin or maintain his singular stead
Because it is only a solution when a true life may be saved that life takes on substantial meaning
But to provide obstacles that may honor the henchman
is a murderous act however tacit it may be
But unfortunately sadism may at times have no concrete bounds
So let the venom seep deeply through the skin
the microbes will squirm until they will come to reap with the greatest authority
of a horrid, hannibal hatchetman who is eager to employ the best of his efforts
and sustain his baneful pestiferous work
And as the immediate aftereffects may vary in terms of time,
quality and degree of agony for those who have survived and have yet to perish,
the final result will be obstinate and stubborn yet always quite assured
For whatever you may think, in the dark days there are no fairies, no nisse nymphs
or petulant pixie pucks
But the absence of elves will surely have no impact upon an aggressive bogie pop
Because it all starts with the competition that he vehemently abhors
Bringing a knife to the head of an indigent, impecunious child
helps to widen the obstreperous gap
There is nothing that he detests more than a small, sniveling buckaroo
But isn't it better to stand up, place your foot in the stir and begin to mount
your valuable blonde hobby horse with its beautiful brown flowing mane
and its large ocular beat back schlong?
And with it bring some green vegetables too,
complete with ovum, oospore and blue cackleberry
These will bring your depressing little shaver to new life
And for a moment forget that she is only a young tadpole, good nutrition is essential for existence
Let the patriarchal bastards do their dirty work but just remember
you don't need a bedpan, a microscope or any good books to read
Because the stock exchange is the only thing that he's qualified to quote us
