The Antitrust War Within
As infants we're all arms
in zealous world outreach
no-touch
no-touch
no-touching...
Is what the Adults preach
And touch with cold bare arms
the locks that slip-and-screech
that's-right
that's-right
that's-our-right...
Becomes the adopted speech
And we've the gift of Life
if not touched out-of-breach
not-right
not-right
not-right-now
a small stain left to bleach
And claim high Right to touch
strayed lives by long-shot-reach
hand-gun
hand-gun
hand-held-guns...
Reason we can't beseech
As we learn False arms-length
by what our hand-rules teach
gun-safe
gun-safe
gun-safety...
Fear taps us like a leech.
