My line falls out tempting providence
|
One more dime spent on the fence
|
As you mourn the wretch of innocence lost
|
True lies and surrogates
|
Room, board and benefits
|
Boardrooms make breeding grounds
|
For selfish bastards anyhow
|
|
And the grace that we really live for
|
Are the sacrifices made
|
Protracted and betrayed
|
Enough to suffer
|
|
How many rats will tip the scales
|
Of failing finance
|
How many brave and able men will be lost at sea
|
Who dares to complicate
|
and the retaliate
|
Renouncing tolerance of everything they see
|
|
Follow like sheep
|
a face in the crowd
|
a good team player
|
give me blood
|
give me truth
|
Its what we came for
|
The frayed myth of enlightenment
|
Is a supposition
|
If you believe
|
Smith wrote anything but fiction
|

Paean To The Enlightenment

Good Riddance |
