No Sustained State Has Ever Existed

you can talk of human nature,
|
||||
how I need a preacher
|
||||
to tell me I don't deserve infinity,
|
||||
how I don't deserve to *breathe* and *live free*.
|
||||
|
||||
it hurts me to say, I thought you were close
|
||||
to seeing behind the veil so thin as a ghost.
|
||||
no matter, no wait: I'll still cease this pain!
|
||||
no revolution needed to break these chains!
|
||||
|
||||
why should I care about the sleepwalking masses
|
||||
with their corporatist bows and their highway overpasses?
|
||||
why should I live under tyranny's grasp
|
||||
just because of the failures of those in the past?
|
||||
|
||||
I know not who you spoke to; I know not what you "learned"
|
||||
to make liberty to you so easily spurned.
|
||||
I'll go it alone if I can, if I must
|
||||
walk down this path without anyone I can trust.
|
||||
|
||||
your Stalins and Maos and Lenins breathe no more,
|
||||
but through my veins burns dear Novatore!
|
||||
I am a Goddess-sent beast, a destroyer of cages,
|
||||
through my harsh-spoken words and knobby phalanges!
|
||||
|
||||
No war but my war,
|
||||
no cause but my cause,
|
||||
no power but my power,
|
||||
no laws but my laws!
