Of Human Bondage
Can you savor the ice cream base...
That gratifying pill...
That's been shot from some dark chamber
To now arrive upon your sill?...
It's not everyday you'll taste it's wonders...
One must pay tithing and alms...
Transform your body for the sake of trade!...
A thoughtless action without qualms!...
Do the Humanoid Shuffle,
And the Automaton Jig!...
In an incongruous tangle
Be the straight as arrow sprig
That arises without tell tale
Of the world's endemic flaws...
Your love extending like an olive branch
Without purpose...without cause...
Like the Count of Monte Cristo
One gets tarnished by the quest
In attempts to settle debts,
And even stabilize the books...
Don't let his deception drive you!...
While the rest bank on their looks
Make a bee-line for the counters,
And the mass production trays...
Don a safety mask, and goggles!...
You'll be occupied all day!...
Beat yourself raw like a square peg,
As the blood runs at top speeds
Down the walls of your gratuity
Into the gutters of the Beast...
Where sounds of gnashing teeth, and the
Suckling of marrow from heaved bones
Become a backdrop aura that is aped,
And normalized to fit your home!...
Do the Humanoid Shuffle,
And the Automaton Jig!...
In an incongruous tangle
Be the straight as arrow sprig
That arises without tell tale
Of the world's endemic flaws...
Your love extending like an olive branch
Without purpose...without cause...
