Listen. They said it before.
Loud as a wail. Clear as a siren.
Blunt as a cannon ball.
Listen. They’ll say it again
Sharp as an promise
Deep as a Devil
All while we were
sleeping.

Well aware that Power poisons.
And absolute consumes.
Too late. They Told you their name.
Said just who they were.
Should’ve believed them.

Zealots are tugging the strings feeding the Id
and starving the Ego.
Choking the light right out.
Soon as The Quiet Parts were trumpeted & bellowed
We should have listened then
& shored up to keep from

Drowning beneath the ugly
tidal wave of the True Believers.
Too late. Told you their name.
Said just who they were.
Should’ve believed them.

Sleeping. Well aware that Power poisons.

Listen. They said it before.
Loud as a wail. Clear as a siren.
Blunt as a cannon ball
Soon as The Quiet Parts were trumpeted & bellowed
We should have listened then.
& shored up to keep from…

Should’ve believed them.
