Push the treaty on unwilling fighters
The lavish, timid, and meek’s grasp getting tighter
My lighter flicks, fast flash of fire
I’m tired of never feeling inspired
Locked away in a haven
Built for Darwin’s refugees
I can’t keep praying
For some catastrophic apocalyptic masterpiece
To save me
So hate me
For hating everything
The way it is
I never said
I was satisfied with complicity
Too bound to nature
And it’s intrinsically inimical nobility
I believe
We’re all clawing viciously
Behind our awkward smiles
Towards something a fraction
Closer to divinity
Only to smother our demons
With the façade of gentle sheep
Livestock to be slaughtered
And drift off mildly into fabled peace
